From the dried petals of Carthamus tinctorius, a new flavonoid, (2R)-4',5-dihydroxyl-6,7-di-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl flavanone (1) and a new aromatic glucoside, methyl-3-(4-O-beta-d-glucopyranosylphenyl) propionate (4) were isolated along with four known compounds (2S)-4',5-dihydroxyl-6,7-di-O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl flavanone (2), 6-hydroxykaempferol-3,6-di-O-beta-d-glucopyranoside (3), 4-O-beta-d-glucosyl-trans-p-coumaric acid (5), and 4-O-beta-d-glucosyl-cis-p-coumaric acid (6). Their structures were identified on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic methods.

Two new acetylenic glucosides, 4',6'-acetonide-8Z-decaene-4,6-diyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside named carthamoside A(1) (1) and 4,6-decadiyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside named carthamoside A(2) (2), along with one known acetylenic glucoside, 8Z-decaene-4,6-diyne-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), have been isolated from the air-dried flower of Carthamus tinctorius, these structures have been identified on the basis of spectroscopic methods.
