Abstract

One new iridoid glycoside, 10-p-dihydrocoumaroyl-6-${\alpha}$-hydroxygeniposide (1), and six known iridoid glycoside derivatives, 10-p-dihydrocoumaroyl deacetylasperuloside (2), asperulosidic acid methylester (3), asperuloside (4), asperulosidic acid (5), deacetylasperuloside (6), and scandoside (7) were isolated from the methanolic extract of the whole plant of Galium verum var. asiaticum Nakai (Rubiaceae) through repeated column chromatography. Their chemical structures were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. This is the first report of the characterization of compounds 1 - 7 from this plant.
