A chemical examination of high-quality commercial rhubarb (Choukichio : ?? ?? ?? ) has led to the isolation and characterization of eight flavan-3-ol glucosides and three proanthocyanidin glucosides, together with several known compounds, i.e., (+)-catechin 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), (+)-catechin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), procyanidin B-2 8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (3) and procyanidin B-2 6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (4). On the basis of chemical and spectroscopic evidence, the former compounds were characterized as (+)-catechin 3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5), (+)-catechin 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), (+)-catechin 7, 3'-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), (+)-catechin 5, 3'-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), (+)-catechin 3', 4'-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), (+)-catechin 5, 4'-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (10), (+)-catechin 8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (11), (+)-catechin 6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (12), procyanidin B-3 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (13), procyanidin B-1 8-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (14) and procyanidin B-1 6-C-β-D-glucopyranoside (15).
