Acacetin glycosides as taxonomic markers in Calamintha and Micromeria

Phytochemistry. 2001 Nov;58(6):943-7. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00352-1.

Abstract

A new acetylated flavone glycoside, acacetin 7-O-[6""-O-acetylglucosyl(1""-->2")]rhamnosyl(1"'-->6")glucoside, has been isolated from the leaves of Calamintha glandulosa together with the known compound acacetin 7-O-rhamnosyl(1"'-->6")glucoside. The occurrence of these flavonoids in the closely related genera Satureja, Micromeria, Acinos and Clinopodium indicates that their distribution may be of taxonomic significance.
