Iridoid Glucosides from Wendlandia tinctoria Roots

Abstract

Four new iridoid glucosides, 5-dehydro-8-epi-adoxosidic acid, 5-dehydro-8-epi-mussaenoside, 10-O-dihydroferuloyldeacetyldaphylloside, and wendoside, together with one known iridoid glucoside, 8-epi-mussaenoside, beta-D-glucose, D-mannitol and beta-sitosterol have been isolated from the roots of Wendlandia tinctoria. On the basis of chemical and spectral analyses, the structures of new iridoid glucosides have been elucidated.
