Three galactosyl cyclitols, digalactosyl myo-inositol (assigned the trivial name DGMI), trigalactosyl myo-inositol (assigned the trivial name TGMI), and trigalactosyl d-chiro-inositol (fagopyritol B3), were isolated from common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) seeds. Structures of the three compounds were determined by 2D NMR spectroscopy. DGMI is α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→1)-1l-myo-inositol, TGMI is α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→1)-1l-myo-inositol, and fagopyritol B3 is α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→2)-1d-chiro-inositol. DGMI and TGMI are higher oligomers of galactinol, a major galactosyl donor in plant seeds. Fagopyritol B3 is a higher oligomer of the fagopyritol B series and one of six fagopyritols found in buckwheat seeds and in the bran milling fraction. Samples of TGMI and fagopyritol B3 also contained the compounds N-(β-glucopyranosyl)-nicotinic acid and β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-(1-O-methyl)-glucopyranoside.

A digalactosyl ononitol was isolated from seeds of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis [Willd.] Ohwi et Ohasi). Analysis of hydrolysis products and NMR spectroscopy established its structure as O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3)-4-O-methyl-D-myo-inositol.

Monolayers of seven fractions of natural lipids (phosphatidyl inositol, sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, digalactosyl diacylglycerol, phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol), isolated from the photoautotrophic cell culture of the moss Marchantia polymorpha grown under normal and light-stress conditions, have been prepared for the first time. We have shown that the high-intensity light affects the area occupied by the lipid molecule. In the case of digalactosyl diacylglycerol and phosphatidyl glycerol fractions, after the light stress the area significantly increased from 0.

Two digalactosyl D-chiro-inositols and two trigalactosyl D-chiro-inositols, members of the fagopyritol A series and fagopyritol B series, were isolated from buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) seeds. Structures of the first three were determined by 1H and 13C NMR. Fagopyritol B2 is alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->2) -1D-chiro-inositol, and fagopyritol A2 is alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->3)- 1D-chiro-inositol.

O-alpha-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1-->2)-D-chiro-inositol, herein named fagopyritol B1, was identified as a major soluble carbohydrate (40% of total) in buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, Polygonaceae) embryos. Analysis of hydrolysis products of purified compounds and of the crude extract led to the conclusion that buckwheat embryos have five alpha-galactosyl D-chiro-inositols: fagopyritol A1 and fagopyritol B1 (mono-galactosyl D-chiro-inositol isomers), fagopyritol A2 and fagopyritol B2 (di-galactosyl D-chiro-inositol isomers), and fagopyritol B3 (tri-galactosyl D-chiro-inositol). Other soluble carbohydrates analyzed by high-resolution gas chromatography included sucrose (42% of total), D-chiro-inositol, myo-inositol, galactinol, raffinose and stachyose (1% of total), but no reducing sugars.
