A galloylated cyanogenic glycoside from the Australian endemic rainforest tree Elaeocarpus sericopetalus (Elaeocarpaceae)

A cyanogenic glycoside - 6′-O-galloylsambunigrin - has been isolated from foliage of the highly cyanogenic Australian tropical rainforest endemic Elaeocarpus sericopetalus (Elaeocarpaceae). This is the first published characterisation of a cyanogenic glycoside in the family Elaeocarpaceae.
