ABSTRACT

From an extract of Veronica (sect. Hebe) lavaudiana we have identified mannitol and isolated 11 iridoid glucosides, the carbohydrate ester hebitol II, and four phenylethanoid glycoside esters. Five of the iridoid glycosides are new; of these, lavaudiosides A, B, and C (2a, 3a, and 4) are 1-mannityl esters of 8-epiloganic acid, while 7e and 7f are 6'-O-caffeoyl derivatives of catalpol. The new phenylethanoid glycoside esters, heliosides A, B, and C (8b-d), are 6'-xylosyl derivatives of aragoside. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated mainly by spectroscopic analysis, but also by chemical degradation. We also demonstrated that the structures of the known glycosides globularitol and hebitols I and II should be revised. These compounds are derivatives of mannitol and not glucitol as previously believed.
