    Abstract:
    Three acylated cyanidin 3-(3(X)-glucosylsambubioside)-5-glucosides (1-3) and one non-acylated cyanidin 3-(3(X)-glucosylsambubioside)-5-glucoside (4) were isolated from the purple-violet or violet flowers and purple stems of Malcolmia maritima (L.) R. Br (the Cruciferae), and their structures were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods. In the flowers of this plant, pigment 1 was determined to be cyanidin 3-O-[2-O-(2-O-(trans-sinapoyl)-3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-6-O-(trans-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside]-5-O-[6-O-(malonyl)-(beta-D-glucopyranoside) as a major pigment, and a minor pigment 2 was determined to be the cis-p-coumaroyl isomer of pigment 1. In the stems, pigment 3 was determined to be cyanidin 3-O-[2-O-(2-O-(trans-sinapoyl)-3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-6-O-(trans-p-coumaroyl)-beta-d-glucopyranoside]-5-O-(beta-D-glucopyranoside) as a major anthocyanin, and also a non-acylated anthocyanin, cyanidin 3-O-[2-O-(3-O-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside]-5-O-(beta-D-glucopyranoside) was determined to be a minor pigment (pigment 4). In this study, it was established that the acylation-enzymes of malonic acid has important roles for the acylation of 5-glucose residues of these anthocyanins in the flower-tissues of M. maritima; however, the similar enzymatic reactions seemed to be inhibited or lacking in the stem-tissues.
