The novel iridoid glycosides, isounedoside and grandifloric acid, were isolated from Thunbergia grandiflora. Grandifloric acid contains C-10 as a carboxylic acid group, the presence of which was predicted by recent iridoid biosynthesis studies carried out within T. alata. Isounedoside contains a rare 6,7-epoxide functional group. A revision in some of the NMR spectral assignments for the known iridoid glycoside alatoside was also made.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of Cornus officinalis iridoid glycosides (CIG) on rats with chronic renal failure (CRF).
Methods: CRF was induced in adult male Sprague Dawley rats by nephrectomy. The rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham, sham+high-dose CIG (120 mg/kg/d for 14 days), CRF, CRF+low-dose CIG (60 mg/kg/d for 14 days), CRF+high-dose CIG, and CRF+high-dose CIG+ML385 (an inhibitor of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), single administration at 30 mg/kg).

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.
