Cinnamate derivatives of fructo-oligosaccharides from Lindelofia stylosa Original Research Article

Phytochemical investigation on the whole plants of Lindelofia stylosa (Kar. and Kir.) has led to the isolation of eight fructo-oligosaccharide cinnamate esters 1–8. Six new compounds 1, 2, and 5–8 were isolated from the butanol extract of the plant. Compounds 1–4 belong to sucrose derivatives, while compounds 5–6 and 7–8 belong to 1-kestose- and nystose-type oligosaccharides, respectively. The fructo-oligosaccharides have been obtained from L. stylosa for the first time.
