Salvigenin, a Trimethoxylated Flavone from C. Koch, Exerts Combined Lipid-Lowering and Mitochondrial Stimulatory Effects.

Phytochemical analysis of the Iranian plant led to the isolation of 17 pure secondary metabolites belonging to the classes of sesquiterpenoids and phenolics. Two of these compounds, named wilhemsin () and wilhelmsolide (), are new sesquiterpenoids, and the first shows undescribed structural features. Their structures were elucidated through extensive spectroscopic analysis, mainly based on 1D and 2D NMR, and chemical derivatization.
