Six new iridoid glycosides (1-6) of the "Valeriana type" were isolated from leaves of Sambucus ebulus. The structures were elucidated by 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and chemical degradation methods as 10-O-acetylpatrinoside-aglycone-11-O-[4''-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-ribohexo-3-ulopyranoside] (1), 7-O-acetylpatrinoside-aglycone-11-O-[4''-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-ribohexo-3-ulopyranoside] (2), 10-O-acetylpatrinoside-aglycone-11-O-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-ribohexo-3-ulopyranoside] (3), patrinoside-aglycone-11-O-[4''-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-ribohexo-3-ulopyranoside] (4), 10-O-acetylpatrinoside-aglycone-11-O-[4''-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranoside] (5), and patrinoside-aglycone-11-O-2'-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6). Compounds 1-4 represent the first examples of acylated iridoid diglycosides bearing the uncommon D-ribohexo-3-ulopyranosyl sugar moiety. Compound 6 is the first iridoid glycoside with a 2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl sugar moiety.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a chronic systemic bone metabolism disorder. Promotion in the patterns of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation towards osteoblasts contributes to alleviating osteoporosis. Aucubin, a natural compound isolated from the well-known herbal medicine Eucommia, was previously shown to possess various pharmacological effects.

Radix Rehmanniae (RR) is a widely used herb in traditional Chinese Medicine with properties of tonifying the kidneys and nourishing the blood. Both raw and processed RR are effective for the treatment of diabetes in clinical practice. Oligosaccharides and iridoid glycosides are the primary active components responsible for the anti-diabetic effects of RR.

Separation of polar compounds especially with similar polarities is challenging. In the present study, three polar compounds with similar polarities, including gentiopicroside, sweroside and mangiferin, have been successfully separated from Swertia mussotii by a combination of two counter-current chromatography modes. With the selected solvent system of ethyl acetate/n-butanol/water (8/2/10, v/v), a continuous injection mode was firstly employed.

A comprehensive phytochemical investigation of the twigs/leaves and flower buds of , a rare deciduous shrub native to China, led to the isolation of 39 structurally diverse compounds. These compounds include 11 iridoid glycosides (- and -), 20 triterpenoids (, , and -), and 8 phenylpropanoids (-). Among these, amabiliosides A () and B () represent previously undescribed bis-iridoid glycosides, while amabiliosides C () and D () feature a unique bis-iridoid-monoterpenoid indole alkaloid scaffold with a tetrahydro--carboline-5-carboxylic acid moiety.
