Abstract

Seven new acylated sucroses, mumeoses P–V, were isolated from the flower buds of Prunus mume, cultivated in Zhejiang province, China. Their chemical structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. Moreover, mumeoses C, D, and R, were shown to substantially inhibit aldose reductase.
