Chemical constituents of Glechoma longituba

Yao Xue Xue Bao. 2006 May;41(5):431-4.

Abstract

Aim: To study the chemical constituents of Glechoma longituba (Nakai) Kupr.

Methods: Manifold chromatography methods were used to separated the chemical constituents, and the chemical structures were determined by spectral analyses.

Results: Nine compounds were isolated from Glechoma longituba and identified, as: glecholone (1), 6R,9R-3-oxo-alpha-ionol (2), S(+)-dehydrovomifoliol (3), vomifoliol (4), corosolic acid (5), quercetin (6), stigmastenol (7), myristic acid (8) and triacontanol (9).

Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 2 - 9 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
