Phytochemical investigation of the roots of Valeriana officinalis var. latifolia resulted in the isolation and characterization of six new acylated iridoids, (5S,7S,8S,9S)-7-hydroxy-8-isovaleroyloxy-Δ⁴,¹¹-dihyronepetalactone (1), (5S,7S,8S,9S)-7-hydroxy-10-isovaleroyloxy-Δ⁴,¹¹-dihyronepetalactone (2), (5S,8S,9S)-10-isovaleroyloxy-Δ⁴,¹¹-dihyronepetalactone (3), (5S,6S,8S,9R)-6-isovaleroyloxy-Δ⁴,¹¹-1,3-diol (4), (5S,6S,8S,9R)-1,3-isovaleroxy-Δ4,11-1,3-diol (5), and (5S,6S,8S,9R)-3-isovaleroxy-6-isovaleroyloxy-Δ⁴,¹¹-1,3-diol (6). Their structures were determined mainly by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. We also report herein for the first time the single crystal X-ray structure of compound 1. In addition, the cytotoxic activities of compounds 1-6 were evaluated against A549 (human lung adenocarcinoma), HCT116 (human colon carcinoma), SK-BR-3 (human breast carcinoma), and HepG2 (human hepatoma) cell lines. Compound 6 showed weak cell growth inhibition of A549, HCT116, SK-BR-3, and HepG2 cells.

Iridoids are non-canonical monoterpenoids produced by both insects and plants. An example is the cat-attracting and insect-repelling volatile iridoid nepetalactone, produced by Nepeta sp. (catmint) and aphids.

In this study, a new acylated triterpene glycoside, 3--stearoyl-28-[2'-stearoyl--l-arabinopyranosyl]-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (), was isolated from the flowers of . In addition to this compound, eleven known compounds were also isolated, including a related pentacyclic triterpenoid: ursolic acid (), two cycloartane triterpenoids: 24-methylenecycloartanol () and 24-methylenecycloartane-3,28-diol (), three cyclohexylethane derivatives: (-)-rengyolone (), (-)-cleroindicin C () and (-)-cleroindicin D (), an iridoid: 6---feruloyl catalpol (), two phenylethanoid glycosides: salidroside () and verbascoside (), and two steroids: -sitosterol () and -sitosterol-3---d-glucopyranoside (). The chemical structures of these compounds were determined by analysing their HRMS and NMR spectroscopic data.

Escherichia coli, a well-known prokaryotic organism, has been widely employed as a versatile host for heterologous overexpression of proteins/biocatalysts and the production of pharmaceutically important intermediates/small molecules. However, some E. coli endogenous enzymes showing substrate promiscuity may disturb the heterologous metabolic flux, which will result in the reduction of substrates, intermediates, and target products.

Phytochemical study on the whole plants of a Gentianaceous medicinal plant, Canscora lucidissima, gave one new acylated iridoid glucoside, canscorin A (1), and two new xanthone glycosides (2 and 3) together with 17 known compounds including five xanthones, eight xanthone glycosides, two benzophenone glucosides, caffeic acid, and loganic acid. Canscorin A (1) was assigned as a loganic acid derivative having a hydroxyterephthalic acid moiety by spectroscopic analysis together with chemical evidence, while 2 and 3 were elucidated to be a rutinosylxanthone and a glucosylxanthone, respectively. The absolute configurations of the sugar moieties of 2 and 3 were determined by HPLC analysis.
