8-C-glucosylscutelarein 6,7-dimethylether (abrusin) and its 2"-O-apioside have been identified as minor components in the seeds of Abrus precatorius. Both are new natural products and are the first examples of flavone-cglycosides containing a trioxygenated A-ring. Abrusin 2"-0-apioside is the only known apioside of a flavone-cglycoside.
