Abstract

Chromone glycosides comprise an important group of secondary metabolites. They are widely distributed in plants and, to a lesser extent, in fungi and bacteria. Significant biological activities, including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antimicrobial, etc., have been discovered for chromone glycosides, suggesting their potential as drug leads. This review compiles 192 naturally occurring chromone glycosides along with their sources, classification, biological activities, and spectroscopic features. Detailed biosynthetic pathways and chemotaxonomic studies are also described. Extensive spectroscopic features for this class of compounds have been thoroughly discussed, and detailed 13C-NMR data of compounds 1-192, have been added, except for those that have no reported 13C-NMR data.

1. Introduction

Chromone glycosides are a class of secondary metabolites with various medicinal properties. They are widely distributed in many plant genera and, to a lesser extent, in some fungal species and other sources [1]. Several biological activities have been reported for various chromone glycosides. For example, aloesin and its analogues, from Aloe, are used in cosmetic preparations to treat hyperpigmentation induced by UV radiation, owing to their role in inhibition of tyrosinase enzyme [2,3]. Additionally, 8-[C-β-d-[2-O-(E)-cinnamoyl]glucopyranosyl]-2-[(R)-2-hydroxypropyl]-7-methoxy-5-methylchromone), isolated from certain Aloe species, was reported to have potent topical anti-inflammatory activity comparable to the effect of hydrocortisone without affecting thymus weight [3]. Macrolobin, from Macrolobium latifolium, has a remarkable acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 0.8 µM. Uncinosides A and B, isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Selaginella uncinata, showed potent anti-RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) activity with IC50 values of 6.9 and 1.3 µg/mL. Taking into consideration the broad biological activities of chromone glycosides, this review summarizes the naturally occurring chromone glycosides and categorizes these compounds on their structural basis, in addition to their sources, bioactivities and spectroscopic features. Importantly, this review will shed more light toward the NMR features of chromone glycosides to help natural product researchers in the identification of various chemical structures. Scientific databases as SciFinder, PubMed, and Google Scholar were used to collect the relevant literature data.

2. Biosynthesis

Chromones are biosynthesized through the acetic acid pathway by the condensation of five acetate molecules. These compounds, generally, have a methyl group at C-2 and are oxygenated at C-5 and C-7 [4]. Pentaketide Chromone Synthase (PCS) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis process that catalyzes the formation of a pentaketide chromone (5,7-dihydroxy-2-methylchrome) from five-step decarboxylative condensations of malonyl-CoA, followed by the Claisen cyclization reaction to form an aromatic ring. However, it is unclear whether the heterocyclic ring closure of the pentaketide chromone is enzymatic or not, because the ring closure can take place due to spontaneous Michael-like ring closure, as in the case of flavanone formation from chalcone in vitro. PCS also accepts acetyl-CoA, resulting from decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA, as a starter substrate, but it is a poor substrate for PCS [5].The pentaketide chromone has been isolated from several plants and is known to be the biosynthetic precursor of the chromone derivatives with additional heterocyclic rings (e.g., furano-, pyrano- and oxepino-chromone glycosides). Scheme 1 ([6] with modifications) shows the sequence of steps utilized in the biosynthesis of these compounds, fully consistent with the biosynthetic rationale developed above. The key intermediate is 5,7-dihydroxy-2-methylchromone [5,6]. For many years, the cyclization had been postulated to involve an intermediate epoxide, such that nucleophilic attack of the phenol onto the epoxide group might lead to formation of either five-membered furan, six-membered pyran or the seven-membered oxepin heterocycles, as commonly encountered in natural products [6].

Proposed mechanisms for the enzymatic formation of 5,7-dihydroxy-2-methylchromone and its derivatives.

Aloesone Synthase (ALS) (Scheme 2, [5] with modifications) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of heptaketide chromone aloesone derivatives, such as aloesone 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (53) in rhubarb and anti-inflammatory aloesone 8-C-β-d-glucopyranoside (aloesin, 98) in Aloe (A. arborescens). ALS efficiently catalyzes the formation of a heptaketide aromatic pyrone 6-(2-(2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylphenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-4-hydroxy-2-pyronechromone from acetyl-CoA and six molecules of malonyl-CoA through an aldol cyclization. The unstable heptaketide pyrone (or acid form) would then undergo subsequent spontaneous isomerization to the β-ketoacid chromone, which is followed by decarboxylation to produce the heptaketide aloesone [5].

3. Taxonomy

We have reviewed the literature concerning the occurrence of chromone glycosides, and we have found that 192 different chromone glycosides have been isolated from different natural sources, including angiosperms, ferns, lichens, fungi and actinobacteria (Table 1). The occurrence of chromone glycosides is mostly confined to botanical families: Apiaceae, Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, Asphodelaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rubiaceae, Hypericaceae, Ericaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Polygonaceae and Araceae. However, few chromone glycosides are also present in Asteraceae, Eucryphiaceae, Saxifragaceae, Smilacaceae, Pentaphylaceae, Salicaceae, Meliaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Staphyleaceae, Amaranthaceae, Aquifoliaceae, Rosaceae, Bignoniaceae, Olacaceae, Pinaceae, Selaginellaceae, Gentianaceae, Cannabaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Thymelaeaceae and Poaceae. Many of the naturally occurring chromone-8-C-glycosides such as the well-known chromone glycoside aloesin (98) were reported from genus Aloe. Until now, chromone glycosides with additional heterocyclic moieties such as pyrano-, oxepino- and pyrido-chromone glycosides were only isolated from Saposhnikovia divaricate, Eranthis species and Schumanniophyton magnificum, respectively. Another interesting category comprises hybrids of furano-chromones with cycloartane triterpenes, which were reported from Cimicifuga foetida. Actinobacteria also constitute an important source of the chromone alkaloid aminoglycosides, which are isolated from Streptomyces, Saccharothrix and Actinomycete species.

4. Chromone Glycosides

Chromone glycosides belong to a group of oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds with a benzo-γ-pyrone skeleton. Naturally occurring chromone glycosides can be either O-glycosides or C-glycosides. For O-glycosides, the most frequently encountered group is the 7-O-glycosides; however, 2-, 3-, 5-, 8-, 11- and 13-O-glycosides also exist but to a lower extent. For an example, only one 6-O-glycoside 11 has been reported from nature, and from fungi, not higher plants [1]. Glycosylation can also be detected at side chains for chromones, at C-11 and C-12 as in compounds 56–59, at the hydroxyprenyl and hydroxyisoprenyl side chains as in 123 and 128, respectively, or at the phenyl ethyl moiety as 139. The most abundant among chromone glycosides is the glucoside from. However, other sugar moieties such as xylose, arabinose and rhamnose were also detected in 3-, 7- and 11-O-glycosides.

4.1.1. 2-O-Glycosides

This category includes compound 1 (Figure 1), 2-hydroxy-5-methylchromone-β-d-glucopyranoside, isolated from the aerial parts of Mutisia acuminata var. hirsuta, a member of family Asteraceae [7]. The authors did not report biological activity for this compound.

4.1.2. 3-O-Glycosides

This category includes compounds 2–5. They share the same aglycone nucleus but with different sugar moieties at C-3. Eucryphin 4 was reported as a new compound in 1979 [8]; however, it was reported again in 1996 as a new compound under the name smiglanin [9]. In addition, 3,5,7-trihydroxychromone 3-O-β-d-xylopyranoside 2 was first reported in 2005 from Rhodadendron ovatum [10], but it was reported again as a new compound in 2013 [11]. Compounds 2–5 are shown in Figure 2. The sources and the reported biological activities are summarized in Table 2.

Among the naturally occurring 5-O-glycosides, Staphylosides A and B (8–9), isolated from Staphylea bumalda, are characterized by a presence of a disaccharide moiety attached to C-5. The disaccharide chain in 8 is β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside while in 9, is α-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranoside. Compounds 6–10 are shown in Figure 3.

This subclass is characterized by the presence of sugar at C-7. Hyperimone A is the same as Urachromone A (22), reported at nearly the same time from different co-authors from the genus Hypericum. Takanechromone A (38) is the same as Hyperimone B, isolated from the same genus by different co-authors. They were reported each time as new compounds. We preferred to add only 13C-NMR data of one set of these compounds (Table 23). Several biological activities have been reported to some members of this subclass. Compounds 12–53 are shown in Figure 5. The sources and the reported biological activities (if any) are summarized in Table 4.

Drynachromosides C (30) and D (33) exhibited inhibitory activity on triglyceride accumulation [22]. The effects of these compounds on mRNA expression of the three adipogenesis-related marker genes, PPARγ, C/EBPα and Ap2, in 3T3-L1 were investigated. The mRNA expression levels of PPARγ, C/EBPα and Ap2 were found to be dramatically downregulated. Compounds 40 and 43, having a unique sugar unit of 4-O-methyl-β-d-glucopyranose, were isolated from the scale-insect pathogenic fungus Orbiocrella sp. BCC 33248 [23]. Uncinosides A (46) and B (48) [24], isolated from the Chinese herbal medicine Selaginella uncinata, showed potent anti-RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) activity with IC50 values of 6.9 and 1.3 µg/mL, respectively. Uncinoside B (48) was found to have a TI value of 64.0, a large therapeutic index comparable to that of ribavirin with a TI value of 24.0, which is an approved drug for the treatment of RSV infection in humans. They also showed moderate antiviral activities against PIV 3 (parainfluenza type 3 virus) with IC50 values of 13.8 and 20.8 µg/mL and TI values of 6.0 and 4.0, respectively.

4.2.3. 8-C-Glycosides

Many of the naturally occurring chromone-8-C-glycosieds can be found in genus Aloe. Approximately 26 chromone-8-C-glycosides were reported in the perennial plant Aloe vera, which is a well-known pharmaceutical herb used in traditional Chinese medicine [76]. Some significant bioactive chromone-8-C-glycosides were isolated and identified in Aloe vera, including Aloesin (98), aloeresin E (109), isoaloeresin D (110), aloeresin A (114) and other derivatives. For instance, aloeresin A (114) exhibited a promising therapeutic activity toward α-glucosidase enzyme [79], while the compound isobiflorin (80), isolated from the flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum, had the capacity to inhibit LPS-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in RAW 264.7 macrophages [67]. A chromone-8-C-glycoside, 5,7-dihydroxy-2-isopropylchromone-8-β-d-glucoside, reported in Hypericum japonicum, showed an activity against Epstein–Barr virus [71]. Additionally, BACE1 (β-secretase), which is a possible potential target in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, was inhibited by some compounds as aloesin (98) [80], 7-O-methyl-aloeresin A (115) [81] and 2′-feruloyl-7-O-methylaloesin (119) [80]. Furthermore, tyrosinase, which is the key enzyme for controlling the production of melanin, was inhibited by aloeresin E (109) and isoaloeresin D (110) [82]. The compounds 80–122 are shown in Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13. The sources and the reported biological activities (if any) are summarized in Table 10.

4.3. Phenyl and Isoprenyl Chromone Glycosides

This category is characterized by a hydroxyl prenyl moiety at C-6 or C-8, or a hydroxyl isoprenyl moiety at C-6 only. The sugar moiety can be either situated at C-7 hydroxyl of the chromone nucleus or C-4’ of the hydroxyl prenyl or C-2’ of the hydroxyl isoprenyl moiety. Most of the compounds in this category were reported from the genus Cnidium, belonging to family Apiaceae. The reported biological activity associated with several compounds in this category is their significant inhibition of fat accumulation in differentiated adipocytes employing 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells as an assay system [60]. The compounds 123–134 are shown in Figure 14. The sources and the reported biological activities (if any) are summarized in Table 11.

4.4. Phenyl Ethyl Chromone Glycosides

Reviewing the literature, we encountered five phenyl ethyl chromone glycosides. The phenyl ethyl moiety is usually located at C-2 of the chromone nucleus. The sugar moiety is attached to C-7 of the chromone skeleton in compounds 135–137, while in compound 138, the sugar is attached to C-8. In compound 139, the sugar is not attached directly to the basic chromone skeleton. Compounds 135–139 are shown in Figure 15. Their sources are summarized in Table 12. There are no reported biological activities of these compounds.

4.5. Chromone Glycosides with Additional Heterocyclic Moieties

This category of chromone glycosides is further classified based on the additional heterocyclic moiety into furano-chromone glycosides, pyrano-chromone glycosides, oxepino-chromone glycosides and pyrido-chromone glycosides.

4.5.1. Furano-Chromone Glycosides

This subclass of compounds is characterized by presence of an additional furan, or a tetrahydrofuran ring fused with the benzo-δ-pyrone. Khellol glucoside (140), isolated from Ammi visnaga, is one of the important members in this subclass. It possess potent coronary vasodilator and bronchodilator activities [115]. It was reported to have a significant hypocholesterolemic effect. It lowered low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) by 73%, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) by 23%, and total-C by 44%, after a single oral dose of 20 mg/kg per day after two weeks [116]. Compounds 140–148 are shown in Figure 16. The sources and the reported biological activities (if any) are summarized in Table 13.

This subclass of compounds is characterized by the presence of an additional pyran ring fused with the benzo-δ-pyrone. Only three compounds were reported from nature until now. Of them, 3′-O-glucopyranosylhamaudol (Sec-O-glucopyranosylhamaudol) (149) and (3’S)-3′-O-β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-glucopyranosylhamaudol (150), isolated from the Saposhnikovia divaricata, showed weak anti-cancer activity. Both compounds were screened against three cancer cell lines, namely human prostatic cancer cell (PC-3), human ovarian carcinoma cell (SK-OV-3), and human lung cancer cell (H460) using the conventional MTT assay. Compound 149 showed a weak activity against H460, with an IC50 value of 94.25 ± 1.45 µM while compound 150, showed an activity against SK-OV-3 with an IC50 value of 86.21 ± 1.03 µM [119].

4.5.4. Pyrido-Chromone Glycosides

This subclass includes only the chromone alkaloidal glycoside; Schumanniofoside. This compound was found to reduce the lethal effect of black cobra (Naja melanoleuca) venom in mice [135]. The authors proved that this effect is greatest when the venom is mixed and incubated with the extract or schumanniofoside. They concluded that the mode of action is by oxidative inactivation of the venom. Schumanniophyton magnificum is used extensively in African ethno-medicine for the treatment of various diseases and, most commonly, the treatment of snake bites [135]. Its structure is shown in Figure 19. Its source and biological activity are summarized in Table 16.

5. Spectroscopic Features

5.1. UV Features

Most of the published work on chromones show several strong bands in the range of 200–320 nm [150,151]. In contrast to chromone, the pyrone ring of 4-chromanone contains no double bond. The ultraviolet absorption spectra of chromones and chromanones are summarized in Table 19 [150].

The UV spectrum of chromones in alcohol shows two strong bands at λmax 245 and 299 nm [152,153,154]. Some data reported three bands at λmax 245, 303 and 297 nm [150]. 2-methyl-5,7-dihydroxy chromone shows bands at λmax 250, 255, 295 and 325 nm, meanwhile 2-methyl-5-hydroxy-7-O-glycosyl chromone shows bands at λmax 248, 255 and 290 nm [154]. The presence of an electron attracting group at C-2 resulted in a bathochromic shift in all bands [151]. The information gained from applying spectral shift reagents with flavonoids can be also applied to chromones. In the case of AlCl3, a bathochromic shift of 20–70 nm, which is non-reversible with acids, indicates a free hydroxyl group at position 5. Meanwhile, a bathochromic shift with NaOAc can be diagnostic for the presence of a free 7-hydroxyl group [154,155].

5.2. IR Features

Carbonyl region: The IR carbonyl stretching frequency for a chromone is observed at 1640~1660 cm−1, which is slightly higher than that of δ-pyrone (1650 cm−l) but is much lower than that of coumarins (1720–1740 cm−l) [25,153]. Despite that the OH group attached to C-5 of the chromone nucleus chelates strongly with the CO group, this intramolecular H-bonding has only a slight bathochromic effect on the CO stretching frequency [156]. All 5-hydroxychromones possess three significant maxima in the 1580–1700 cm−1 region. The two higher frequencies are intense at 1660 and 1630 cm−1, with a constant wavenumber separation of 34 ( ± 5) cm−1 in both carbon tetrachloride and chloroform. Hydroxyl region: The IR hydroxyl stretching vibration for a chromone was observed at 2500–3650 cm−1. A strong chelation in 5-hydroxychromones does not produce a considerable bathochromic shifts in both the OH and CO stretching bands [156]. Chelated 5-hydroxychromones produce no absorption maxima in the 3300–3600 cm−1 region, but a weak absorption envelope extends from 2400 to 3300 cm−1. The entire envelope is associated with various stretching modes of the chelated 5-OH group [156]. For 7-hydroxychromones, a steric buttressing effect is observed when the 7-OH group is flanked by a bulky substituent in the ortho-position (6 or 8). The free OH band appears as a doublet centered at 3615 cm−1, the separation of the components being ~26 cm−1. When a prenyl moiety is located in the ortho-position to the 7-OH group, an intramolecular OH interaction occurs, resulting in two OH stretching frequencies. When a 7-OH group is flanked by an OMe group, intense intramolecularly bonded OH stretching frequencies are found at ~3513 and 3517 cm−1, respectively [156]. The 2-hydroxymethyl group exhibits a free stretching frequency at ≈3615 cm−1. At concentrations higher than 0.15 M, a broad-bonded OH frequency at 3400 cm−1 occurs due to intermolecular H-bonding, and it consequently disappears on dilution [156].

5.3. 1H-NMR Features

In the following text, we try to give insight about the most characteristic 1H-NMR features of the benzo-δ-pyrone skeleton (Figure 24) and its glycosides. The δ-pyrone ring has two olefinic protons assigned as H-2 and H-3. In 2, 3 unsubstituted chromones, for example compound 12, the 1H-NMR spectrum shows two ortho-coupled doublets (J = 6.0 Hz), located downfield at δH 8.19 (H-2) and upfield at δH 6.26 (H-3) [25]. For 2-alkyl and 2-O-glycosyl chromones (compounds 21 and 1, respectively), they are characterized by an upfield singlet proton (H-3) at δH 6.11 and 5.98, respectively [7,40]. Meanwhile, 3-alkyl and 3-O-glycosyl chromones (compounds 39 and 2, respectively) are characterized by a downfield singlet proton (H-2) at δH 7.93 and 8.07, respectively [10,50].
Figure 24

Basic skeleton of Chromone.

Chromanone glycosides or 2,3-dihydrochromone glycosides are characterized by an oxygenated proton (H-2) at δH 4.12 and 5.44 as in compounds 62 [63] and 60 [, respectively. The splitting pattern of H-2 can be either d, dd or ddd, depending on the number of neighboring protons. A small coupling constant between H-2 and H-3 (J= 2.8 Hz) can determine that they are located in the equatorial–equatorial position [50]. Further information on the detailed configuration can be clarified from observing NOESY correlations. Unsubstituted chromanones at C-3, as in 62, show two geminal protons at δH 2.50 and 2.70. Their splitting pattern shows geminal (J- = 16.2 Hz) and vicinal (J- = 2.7 Hz or J- = 12.6 Hz ) couplings [63]. In 3-alkyl substituted chromanones, as in 60 and 61, H-3 is also detected at δH 2.79 [50]. Naturally occurring chromones often bear a hydroxyl or methoxy group at C-5 and/or C-7 and a methyl group at C-2 and/or C-5 [153]. The C-5 methyl is usually observed in 6-C and 8-C glycosides. In aprotic solvents such as DMSO-d6, the chelated 5-OH is detected as a singlet at δH 12.57; meanwhile, the 7-OH is detected at δH 10.00, as in compound 56 [. The C-2 methyl in Schumaniofioside A 7 can be detected at δH 2.33 (3H, s) [17]. Meanwhile, those located at C-5, can be detected more downfield at δH 2.64 (3H, s) as in 79 [. For the phenyl part of the benzo-δ-pyrone skeleton, the protons show chemical shift and coupling constant values similar to those observed for protons in substituted benzenes. Sugar moiety: Xylosyl, arabinosyl and glucosyl chromones show an anomeric proton signal at δH ~4.73 (d, J = 7–7.6 Hz) [10,11,12]. The former moieties can be differentiated by the number of the oxygenated protons at the δH 3-5 region, in addition to the difference in 13C-NMR values. Rhamnosyl chromones show a distinct signal at δH ~1.25 (3H, d, J = 6.0 Hz) corresponding to CH3-6’ of α-l-rhamnose [8]. The most abundant chromone of C-glycosides is the 8-C-glycoside form, followed by 6-C-glycosides. However, we encountered a unique 3-C-glycoside named macrolobin 64 [. The anomeric proton in macrolobin is detected at δH 5.32 (d, J = 1.5 Hz), the small coupling constant being indicative of the α-anomer [65]. Biflorin 66 and isobiflorin 80, as representative for 6-C and 8-C-glycosides, respectively, show the anomeric proton signal at δH 4.55 (d, J = 9.8 Hz), and 4.63 (d, J = 9.8 Hz), respectively [69]. The former coupling constant value is higher than that observed in case of O-glycosides (J = 7–7.6 Hz) [11,12]. In 5-O, 7-O, 6-C, furano-, pyrano-, oxepino-chromone glycosides, the sugar moiety can be further substituted with another sugar, as in 8–9, 25–32, 78–79, 141–142, 150 and 153, respectively. In 6-C, 8-C and, to a lesser extent, 7-O-glycosides, the sugar moiety can be mono- or disubstituted with a phenolic acid moiety, commonly at C-2’ or C-6’ or C-2’ and C-3’. The most commonly occurring phenolic moiety is gallic acid, but other phenyl propanoids such as cinnamoyl, coumaroyl, feruloyl and coniferoyl moieties also exist. The galloyl moiety is characterized by a singlet aromatic signal integrated for two protons at δH 6.75 [27]. The cinnamoyl moiety is confirmed by two trans-coupled olefinic protons at δH 7.43 (d, J = 15.8 Hz) and 6.25 (d, J = 15.8 Hz), in addition to the aromatic signals of the benzene ring [30]. The presence of coumaroyl substitution is characterized by AA’ BB’ system for two pairs of ortho-coupled aromatic protons at δH 7.31 (2H, d, J = 8.6 Hz) and δH 6.74 (2H, d, J = 8.6 Hz), a trans-olefinic proton signals at δH 7.35 (1H, d, J = 16.1 Hz) and δH 6.03 (1H, d, J = 15.9 Hz) [29]. Prenyl and Isoprenyl chromone glycosides: In the case of 7-O-glycoside 127, hydroxyl prenyl moiety can be easily characterized by the allylic methylene protons at δH 3.53 (2H, m, H-1’), an olefinic proton at δH 5.39 (t, J = 6.4, H-2’), oxygenated methylene protons δH 4.20 and 4.46 (1H each, d, J = 12.0 Hz, H-4’), and an olefinic methyl at δH 1.75 (3H, d, J = 1.2, H-5″) [60]. Its isomeric 4′-O-glycoside 126 showed similar signals; however, the hydroxyl methylene protons (H-4’) were slightly downfield at δH 4.34 and 4.65 due to O-glycosidation [106]. Meanwhile, the hydroxyl isoprenyl group in the 7-O-glycoside 130 is characterized by the methylene protons at δH 2.96 (2H, m, H-1’), an oxygenated methine proton at δH 4.35 (H-2’, m), exomethylene protons at δH 4.74 and 4.91 (H-4’) and an olefinic methyl at δH 1.87 (3H, s, H-5’). Its isomeric 2′-O-glycoside 129 showed similar signals, but the oxygenated methine proton (H-2’) is shifted downfield at δH 4.74 due to O-glycosidation [60]. Phenyl ethyl chromone glycosides: The presence of the phenyl ethyl moiety in compound 136 can be detected by the methylene proton signals at δH 2.75 (2H each, dd, J = 14.8, 6.4 Hz, H-7’) and 3.19 (2H each, J = 14.8, 3.1 Hz, H-8’), in addition to the aromatic protons of the phenyl ring. The 8′-hydroxy phenyl ethyl moiety in 135 shows an oxygenated proton signal δH 5.85 (dd, J = 3.5, 5.9 Hz, H-8’) [110].

5.4. 13C-NMR Features

For better understanding of the differences in chemical shifts related to the substituents on the chromone moiety, we preferred to add the 13C-NMR data in Table 20, Table 21, Table 22, Table 23, Table 24, Table 25, Table 26, Table 27, Table 28, Table 29, Table 30, Table 31, Table 32, Table 33, Table 34, Table 35, Table 36, Table 37, Table 38, Table 39 and Table 40. For the numbering of the skeleton, the following figure (Figure 25) gives few examples for the numbering system of the skeleton with multiple substituents. Briefly, the basic chromone nucleus was assigned numbers 1–10. In the case of a substitution at C-2, numbers 11, 12…etc. were given to the substituents, followed by substitution at C-3 and so on. Sugar moiety, and substituents attached to it, were assigned numbers 1’, 2’, … and then 1″, 2″, … etc. For better understanding, the following figure shows representative examples for the numbering system. Some complicated structures have their own numbering system, shown on them within the review.

6. Conclusions

Chromone glycosides are one of the most important classes of secondary metabolites. In this review, we summarized 192 naturally occurring chromone glycosides with their sources, reported activities, and spectroscopic features. Basically, they were categorized into several classes: chromone-O-glycosides including compounds 1–59, among them, four chromanone glycosides (60–63), chromone-C-glycosides including compounds 64–122, prenyl and isoprenyl chromone glycosides including compounds 123–134, phenyl ethyl chromone glycosides including compounds 135–139, furano-chromone glycosides including compounds 140–148, pyrano-chromone glycosides including compounds 149–151, oxepino-chromone glycosides including compounds 152–155, Pyrido-chromone glycoside including compound 156, furanochromones with cycloartane triterpenes including compounds 157–165, glycoside derivatives of chromones with secoiridoids including compounds 166 and 167, and chromone alkaloids aminoglycosides including compounds 168–192. Diverse bioactivities were discovered for most of the reported chromone glycosides. Several chromone glycosides show potent biological activities as anti-viral, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, etc. This review directs the attention for further deep investigation of chromone glycosides for drug discovery.
