Phytochemical Analysis of the Fruits of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides): Identification of Organic Acid Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Hippophae rhamnoides L. (Elaeagnaceae), commonly known as "Sea buckthorn" and "Vitamin tree", is a spiny deciduous shrub whose fruit is known for its nutritional composition, such as vitamin C, and is consumed as a dietary supplement worldwide. As part of our ongoing efforts to identify structurally new and bioactive constituents from natural resources, the phytochemical investigation of the extract of H. rhamnoides fruits led to the isolation of one malate derivative (1), five citrate derivatives (2-6), and one quinate derivative (7). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic data and high-resolution electrospray ionization (HR-ESI) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) data. Three of the citr
