A novel iridoid glycoside from the aerial parts of the Tunisian Prasium majus

Nat Prod Res. 2007 Jul 10;21(8):692-7. doi: 10.1080/14786410500480761.

Abstract

Repeated fractionation of the acetylated methanol extract of Prasium majus afforded acetylated derivatives of a new iridoid glycoside hamighriprasin (1), myoporoside (2), beta-D-glycopyranose (3) and saccharose (4). The structures of 1 and 2 were established by interpretation of 1D and 2D NMR data of their corresponding acetylated derivatives and by comparison with the literature.
