A new flavonoid glycoside from the rhizomes and roots of Smilax scobinicaulis.

A new flavonoid glycoside, hesperetin-7-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1), was isolated from the n-BuOH extract of Smilax scobinicaulis, together with four known flavonoid glycosides, clematine (2), ononin (3), daidzin (4) and puerarin (5). All of the five compounds were reported from this material for the first time. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric methods.
