| Title | Iridoids and Sesquiterpenoids from the Roots of Valeriana officinalis. | | Author(s) | Wang PC, Hu JM, Ran XH, Chen ZQ, Jiang HZ, Liu YQ, Zhou J, Zhao YX | | Institution | State Key Laboratory of Phytochemistry and Plant Resources in West China, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650204, People's Republic of China, and Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, People's Republic of China. | | Source | J Nat Prod 2009 Aug 19. | | Abstract | Two new iridoids, volvaltrates A and B (1 and 2), and three new sesquiterpenoids, E-(-)-3beta,4beta-epoxyvalerenal (3), E-(-)-3beta,4beta-epoxyvalerenyl acetate (4), and mononorvalerenone (5), together with five known iridoids and two known sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the roots of Valeriana officinalis. The structures and relative configurations of 1-5 were elucidated by spectroscopic evidence. Compound 1 was an unusual iridoid with an oxygen bridge connecting C-3 and C-10, forming a cage-like structure, and compound 5 was a mononorsesquiterpenoid. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
