A new flavonoid from the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata.

A new flavonoid, 7,8-dimethoxy-2'-hydroxy-5-O-β-d-glucopyranosyloxyflavone (1), along with 15 known flavonoids (2-16), was isolated from the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata Nees. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic analyses. Most of them have uncommon O-substitution patterns involving 5-, 7-, 8-, 2'-, 3'-, 4'- and 5'-O-substituents.

Two new ent-labdane diterpenoid glycosides from the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata.

Two new ent-labdane diterpenoid glycosides were isolated from the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata. Their structures were elucidated as 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-14-deoxyandrographiside (1) and 3-O-beta-D-glucosyl-14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographiside (2) by means of 1D and 2D NMR spectral and chemical methods.
