Abstract: A new phenolic glucoside gallate , named 2-methoxy-4 -( 2 , 3-dihydroxy-propionyl )-phenyl-1- O-( 6′-O-galloyl)- β-D-glucopyranoside (1), together with a known phenolic glucoside gallate (2) , were isolated from the leaves of Cynara scolymus (Artichoke ) . The structure of 1 was elucidated mainly by extensive spectral methods (MS, IR, 1D and 2D NMR techniques)
