A new iridoid diglycoside from Clerodendrum chinense.

A new iridoid diglucoside, 5-O-beta-glucopyranosyl-harpagide, has been isolated from the aerial part of Clerodendrum chinense together with three known iridoid glucosides and six known cyclohexylethanoids. Their structures have been determined by analyses of spectroscopic data.

Lignan and megastigmane glycosides from Sauropus androgynus.

A lignan diglycoside, (-)-isolariciresinol 3alpha-O-beta-apiofuranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-glucopyranoside, and a megastigmane glucoside, sauroposide, were isolated from the aerial part of Sauropus androgynus together with (+)-isolariciresinol 3alpha-O-beta-glucopyranoside, (-)-isolariciresinol 3alpha-O-beta-glucopyranoside, (+)-syringaresinol di-O-beta-glucopyranoside, guanosine and corchoionoside C. The structural elucidations were bases on analyses of physical and spectroscopic data.
