Solanoflavone, a new biflavonol glycoside from Solanum melongena: seeking for anti-inflammatory components.

A new biflavonol glycoside named as solanoflavone (1) was isolated from aerial part of Solanum melongena. The chemical structure was elucidated as isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside-(4'-->O-->4''')-galangin-3''-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside on the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR spectral techniques.
