| Description | Two epimeric pairs of iridoid aglycones (1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b) were isolated from the underground parts of Iridoid aglycones Lathraea squamaria L. (Orobanchaceae) in a phytochemical study. Their structures were elucidated by UV, 1D Lathraea squamaria L and 2D NMR, and comparison with data in the literature. This is the first report of the isolation of these com- Orobanchaceae pounds from the species L. squamaria and the family Orobanchaceae. The chemophenetic significance and possible reasons for the occurrence of such iridoid aglycones in holoparasitic plants are discussed. |
