Water-Soluble Glycosides from Ruta graveolens

An EtOH extract of the dried aerial parts of Ruta graveolens was suspended in water and then partitioned with EtOAc. Three new glycosides, 3'-sinapoyl-6-feruloylsucrose (4), methylcnidioside A (5), and methylpicraquassioside A (6), together with four known glycosides, 3',6-disinapoylsucrose (1), cnidioside A (2), rutin, and picraquassioside A (3), were isolated from the water-soluble part. Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of IR, MS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectra and comparison with literature data.
