The aim of this study was to characterize hydrolyzable tannins in Polygonaceous plants, as only a few plants have previously been reported to contain ellagitannins. From <i>Persicaria chinensis</i>, a new hydrolyzable tannin called persicarianin was isolated and characterized to be 3-<i>O</i>-galloyl-4,6-(<i>S</i>)-dehydrohexahydroxydiphenoyl-d-glucose. Interestingly, acid hydrolysis of this compound afforded ellagic acid, despite the absence of a hexahydroxydiphenoyl group. From the rhizome of ...[more]
