Secondary metabolites from Phlomis kotschyana

A lignan glycoside, syringaresinol-4′,4″-O-di-β-D- glucopyranoside (1) (=liriodendrin), 4 phenylethanoid glycosides, acteoside (2), isoacteoside (3), forsythoside B (4) and leucosceptoside B (5), a caffeic acid ester, chlorogenic acid (6) and 2 iridoid glucosides, lamiide (7) and auroside (8), were isolated from the methanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Phlomis kotschyana along with an acetophenone glycoside, 4-hydroxyacetophenone 4-O-[6′-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl]-β-D-glucopyranoside (9). The structures of the isolated compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic (UV, IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and FAB-MS) methods.
