Studies on the Constituents of Swertia japonica. II. Isolation. and Structure of New Flavonoid, Swertiajaponin.

Abstract
Swertiajaponin, C22H22O11, m.p. 265[degree] (decomp.), was newly isolated from the whole S. japonica Makino, and identified as 6-C-[beta]-D-glucopyranosylluteolin-7-methyl-ether. Iso-swertiajaponin, C22H22O11, m.p. 258[image]261[degree] (decomp.) was obtained by the acid-treatment of swertiajaponin, and formulated as 8-C-[beta]-D-glucopyranosylluteolin-7-methylether. They were interconvertible into each other by boiling with mineral acids, reminiscent of the interrelationship between swertisin and isoswertisin.
