Assignments of ^1H and ^13C NMR Signals of Mogroside IVa

Aim To investigate the structure of mogroside IVa isolated from traditional Chinese medicine fructus momordicae fruits of Siraitia grosvenori (Swingle) C. Jeffery] and summarize the NMR characteristics of the structure. Methods Cormnon extraction, separafion and purification methods were used. Various NMR techniques including ^1H NMR,^13C NMR, DEPT, ^1H-^1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY and molecular model simulated by comtmter were used to elucidate the structure. Results ^1H and ^13C NMR signals of mogroside IVa were assigned, and spectroscopic basis was obtained for identification of such type of compounds. Conclusion 1D and 2D NMR techniques including ^1H-^1H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY spectra are powerful tools for structure analysis. The structure determined by NMR methods is identical with energy minimized conformation simulated by computer.
