Kalanchoe gastonis-bonnieri R. Hamet & H. Perrier (Crassulaceae) is a succulent species empirically used as a vaginal contraceptive as well as to heal genitourinary infections. A phytochemical study of leaf juice prepared from specimens collected in the flowering season resulted in the isolation of the new flavonoid quercetin 3-O-α-rhamnopyranoside-7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, as well as the already known 6-C-β-D-glucopyranosyl- 8-C-β-D-glucopyranosylapigenin (vicenin-2). The NMR spectra of this flavonoid at room temperature exhibited broad and duplicated signals, suggesting the existence of rotameric conformers, which was confirmed by coalescence of the signals at 40°C. The structural elucidation was based on 1H and 13C NMR (HMQC and HMBC) analyses and MS data. This is the first report of a C-glycosyl flavonoid (vicenin-2) in the Crassulaceae family. Additionally, this is the first study in which atropoisomerism has been shown for vicenin-2.
