Acylated cyanidin 3-sophoroside-5-glucoside in purple-violet flowers of Moricandia arvensis (Brassicaceae).

ABSTRACT

A new acylated anthocyanin was isolated as a major pigment, along with a known anthocyanin (Moricandia arvensis anthocyanin 1 MAA-1), from a strain of Moricandia arvensis (Code No. MOR-ARV-3) with purple-violet flowers, and identified as cyanidin 3-O-[2-O-(2-O-(4-O-(6-O-(4-O-(ß-glucopyranosyl)-trans-caffeoyl)-ß-glucopyranosyl)-trans-sinapoyl)-ß-glucopyranoside]-5-O-[6-O-(malonyl)-ß-glucopyranoside].
