Two new glycosidic acids, multifidinic acids F and G, of the ether-insoluble resin glycoside (convolvulin) from the seeds of Quamoclit × multifida.

Two new glycosidic acids, multifidinic acids F and G, were isolated from the glycosidic acid fraction afforded by alkaline hydrolysis of the ether-insoluble resin glycoside (convolvulin) fraction from the seeds of Quamoclit × multifida (syn. Q. sloteri House, Convolvulaceae), a hybrid between Q. pennata and Q. coccinea. The two compounds are the third and fourth examples of bisdesmosides of glycosidic acids having sugar linkages at C-3 of 3,11-dihydroxytetradecanoic acid (ipurolic acid) as well as at C-11.
