Viscumitol, a dimethyl-ether of muco-inositol from Viscum album
摘要:
A new di-O-methyl-inositol, named viscumitol, was isolated from Viscum album and the structure established by chemical and spectroscopic means as 1,2-di-O-methyl-muco-inositol. In V. album and other members of the Viscaceae, this cyclitol was stored in high concentrations up to 8.7% dry weight. Possible physiological functions and chemotaxonomic aspects are briefly discussed.
