Abstract

From the fertile sprouts of Equisetum arvense L. have been isolated protogenkwanin 4'- glucoside and gossypitrin. The structure of protogenkwanin as 5-hydroxy-2-(1, 4-dlhydroxy- 2, 5-cyclohexadienyl)-7-methoxy-4-chromenon is proved on the basis of chemical and physical evidence. It is demonstrated that articulatin a thiamine decomposing substance, from E. arvense, is identical with the known flavonol glycoside gossypitrin (= gossypetin-7- ...
