Four new glucosides from the aerial parts of Equisetum sylvaticum.

Two previously undescribed megastigmane glucosides, (3S)-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-7,8-dihydro-β-ionone-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), (3S)-3-hydroxy-4-oxo-β-ionone-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), an apocarotenoid glucoside named equiseoside A (3) and an unusual aromatic compound with a glucose-fused skeleton named equiseoside B (4), together with 35 known compounds (5-39) were isolated from the aerial parts of Equisetum sylvaticum. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, IR, CD, and HR-MS.
