Biochemistry[]

Selligueain A is an A type proanthocyanidin trimer and a sweetener that can be extracted from the rhizome of the plant.^[1]

Kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside-7-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, a known bitter-tasting flavonoid glycoside, (-)-4β-carboxymethyl epiafzelechin (3'-deoxydryopteric acid), epiafzelechin-(4β→8, 2β→O→7)-epiafzelechin-(4β→8)-3'-deoxydryopteric acid methyl ester (), and were also isolated from the rhizomes of Selliguea feei.^[2]
