Introduction

Scutellaria scandens belongs to the family Lamiaceae, is perennial erect shrub widely distributed in North Western Himalayas in India. Scutellaria species have been used as antimicrobial medicine for a variety of purposes. (1).From leaves of S. scandans. Pinosylvin -3-O-b-D glucopyranoside and 3,5-dihydroxy tras-stilbene-2-carboxylic acid, 2,4 dihydroxy-phenyl ethyl-6-O-sinapoly-b-D-glycopyranoside and 4-methoxy carbonyl methyl phenyl 6-sinapoly (2,3,) The chemical examination of Scutellaria species (4) has been reviewed. The present study has led to the isolation of a new α-D-Glycoside from an ethanolic extract of the bark of Scutellaria scandens. The structure of compound has been elucidated through extensive FAB-mass, ¹H and ¹³C NMR studies.

Material and Methods

The bark of Scutellaria scandane were collected from Ganglogaun, Dist. Chamoli,Garhwal,Uttrakhand and identifed from Department of Botany P.G. College. Gopeshwar where Vaucher specimen was deposited. The air dried barks of plant (3kg) was exhaustively extracted with 90% aqueous ethanol for 72 hours. The ethanolic extract was chromatographed over silica-gel on elution of coloum with Methanol-Chloroform (31:69) afforded compound purified by crystallization from methanol.

Result and Discussion

It was crystallized from methanol as colourless amorphous solid. It correspond the molecular ion peaks at m/z 549 [M+H]⁺, their by indicating 548 amu. is the molecular weight of compound, other fragment ions was observed at m/z 535, 429, 397,391, 369, 307 etc. in the positive ion FAB-MS. Elemental analysis of compound corresponded to the molecular formulae  C₂₇ H₃₂ O_12.  The ¹H-NMR spectrum of  compound showed characteristic signals for anomeric proton (H-1′) at δ 3.8 (s) indicate the presence of α linkage. Acidic hydrolysis (7% MeOH-HCl, 10ml, 60 to 80⁰C, 8hr) furnished aglycone (4-methoxycarbonyl-3-methyl phenol) identified by comparing its spectral data with that of literature (2) and  D-glucose by co-TLC.

 ¹H-NMR spectrum of the compound showed singlet at δ 5.3 for tetra-substituted benzene two sharp singlet at δ 3.6 and 3.4 for two  methoxy groups respectively. The signals for two α-β-methine was observed at δ 6.6 (d, J=6.8 Hz) and δ 6.25 (d, J=4.4 Hz) for sinapic acid (6′-O-4”-methoxy-sinapoyl). Two singlet at δ 5.6 and 5.15 for trisubstituted benzene and sharp singlet at δ 3.1 and 1.2 for one methoxy of ester group and one methyl group respectively assigned for aglycone (4-methoxy carbonyl-3-methyl-phenyl). For sugar moiety, six peaks were observed at δ 3.8 (s), 4.75 (d, 4.4Hz). 4.85(t, 5.2 Hz) 4.9 (t, 4.8Hz) 4.0(dd, 7.2 & 10.4 Hz) and three singlet beak at δ 4.6(s),  4.45(s), 4.50(s) for hydroxy groups (2).

¹³C-NMR spectrum  of the compound showed chemical shifts of the carbon signals at δ 100.4 (C-1′), 73.2 (C-2′), 76.4(C-3′), 69.8(C-4′), 73.8(C-5′), 63.3 (C-6′) which corresponding with analogous data of the glucose (2). The signals for aglycone part δ 156.2 (C-1) aromatic carbons, 116.2, 135.3, 128.6, 130.3, 116.2 for C-2, 3, 4, 5, 6 respectively. The signals at δ 171.25 (C-7) for–CO-O group δ 51.6 for methoxy carbon, δ 21.3 for methyl group. The signals for sinapic acid at δ 124.4 (C-1”), 106.2 (C-2”), 148.2 (C-3”), 149.2(C-4”), 148.0 (C-5”), 116.2 (C-6”) were reported for aromatic carbons and the signal for -CH=CH- were reported at δ 145.5 and 114.7 and δ 166.5 (C-9” -CO-O). Two signals were observed at for d 57.1 (C-10”) and 56.5 (C-11”) for methoxy groups. These data correlate with the reported data of sinapic acid (4).

 Antibacterial activities

The ethanotic extract of Scutellaria  scandans moderately active against two bacterial cultures as klebsiella pneumniae and Mycobacterium  smegmatis by use Agar well diffusion method (5).
