Abstract
The roots of Dianella laevis contain a
crystalline glycoside, dianellin, and the corresponding aglycone, dianellidin.
Only dianellin has been isolated from D. caerulea. Dianellidin is identified as
1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-2-acetonaphthone and the glycoside has the sugars,
glucose and rhamnose, attached at the 8-position. Dianellin is readily
converted into plumbagin and is a possible natural precursor of this and other
naphthoquinones found in plants. There is some evidence for the occurrence of
traces of this type of compound in Dianella roots.
