Two novel acylated anthocyanins have been isolated from blue flowers of the African water lily Nymphaéa caerulea (=Nymphaéa capensis). By a combination of chromatography, electrospray MS and homo- and heteronuclear two-dimensional NMR techniques they were identified to be delphinidin 3′-O-(2″-O-galloyl-β-galactopyranoside) (1) and delphinidin 3′-O-(2″-O-galloyl-6″-O-acetyl-β-galactopyranoside) (2). Contrary to other anthocyanidin 3′-glycosides reported, 1 and 2 have the monosaccharide galactose instead of glucose on the B-ring and no glycosyl moiety on the anthocyanidin 3-position. The chemotaxonomic significance of anthocyanidin galloylgalactosides in Nymphaéaceae is discussed.
