Identification of a digalactosyl ononitol from seeds of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis)

Abstract

A digalactosyl ononitol was isolated from seeds of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis [Willd.] Ohwi et Ohasi). Analysis of hydrolysis products and NMR spectroscopy established its structure as O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→ 6)-O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-4-O-methyl-D-myo-inositol. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
