5-Hydroxyaloin A in the genus aloe thin layer chromatographic screening and high performance liquid chromatographic determination
- By a comparative thin layer chromatographic screening of the methanol-soluble leaf exudates from more than 400 Aloe plants (183 species), 5-hydroxyaloin A was identified in 20 species. Whilst 13 of the 20 species revealed interindividual variations concerning to the occurrence of 5-hydroxyaloin A, this anthrone-C-glucosyl was unambiguously detected in each individual of 6 Aloe species. In the leaf exudates from A. marlothii Berger 5-hydroxyaloin A was only traceable in the aloin-containing chemivars. The complete anthrone-C-glucosyl pattern of these 7 clearly characterized species has been determined additionally by qualitative and quantitative high performance liquid chromatography: The results obtained demonstrate that 5-hydroxyaloin only occurs in the more stable A-configuration (10 R, 1′S), thus being till now the only anthrone-C-glycosyl which has not been found as diastereomeric pair genuinely in plants. As well, 5-hydroxyaloin A characterizes a quantitatively significant hydroxylating pathway in biosynthesis of anthranoids. It is discussed as a chemotaxonomic marker of the genus Aloe, especially of the sections Pachydendron and Eualoe.
