Nat Prod Res. 2012 Nov;26(21):1996-2001. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2011.636747. Epub 2011 Nov 25.

Abstract

A new iridoid, jatamandoid A (1), and four known analogues (2-5) were isolated from the roots of Valeriana jatamansi. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis (IR, ESI-MS, HR-ESI-MS, 1-D and 2-D NMR). Five compounds were evaluated and compounds 1, 2 and 5 showed moderate neuroprotective effects against MPP(+)-induced neuronal SH-SY5Y cell death.
