Ferlapioside: a new bromine substituted iridoid glycoside from the roots of Korovin.

One new bromine substituted iridoid glycoside, ferlapioside (), was isolated from the roots of Korovin, together with 10 known ones including seven iridoid glycosides (-) and three sesquiterpene lactones (-). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, e.g.

Phenolic constituents with potent α-glucosidase inhibitory and cytotoxic activities from Rumex nepalensis var. remotiflorus.

Quantitative analysis of Rumex nepalensis var. remotiflorus revealed that its roots contain rich anthraquinones, which has emodin, chrysophanol, and physcion contents of up to 0.30, 0.

Four new phenolic constituents from the roots of Rumex dentatus L.

Four new phenolic compounds, including two naphthalenes, musizin-8-O-β-D-(6'-O-malonyl-3''-methoxy)glucopyranoside (1) and 2-acetyl-3-methyl-1,4-naphtho-quinone-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), one chromone, (2'R)-7-hydroxy-2-(2'-hydroxypropyl)-5-methyl acetate chromone (3), and one xanthone, 2,8-dimethyl-3,6-dihydroxyxanthone (4) were isolated from the roots of Rumex dentatus L. (Polygonaceae). In addition, five known including four naphthalenes (5-8) and one chromone (9) were also obtained.
