Anthocyanins acylated with gallic acid from chenille plant, Acalypha hispida. Phytochemistry, 64(4), 867-871.doi:10.1016/S0031-9422(03)00494-110.1016/S0031-9422(03)00494-1https://nru.uncst.go.ug/xmlui/handle/123456789/409Three anthocyanins were isolated from the red flowers of chenille plant, Acalypha hispida Burm. (Euphorbiaceae) by a combination of chromatographic techniques. Their structures were elucidated mainly by homo- and heteronuclear nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrospray mass spectrometry, and supported with complete assignments of 13C NMR resonances. The novel pigment, cyanidin 3-O-(200-galloyl-600-O-a-rhamnopyranosyl-b-galactopyranoside) (5%), contains the disaccharide robinoside. The other anthocyanins were identified as cyanidin 3-O-(200-galloyl-b-galactopyranoside) (85%), and cyanidin 3-O-b-galactopyranoside (5%). Anthocyanins acylated with gallic acid have previously been identified in species from the families Nymphaeaceae and Aceraceae, and tentatively in Abrus precatorius (Leguminosae).enAcalypha hispidaEuphorbiaceaeFlowersAnthocyaninsRobinosideCyanidin 3-O-Article
