Abstract

Iridoid glycosides, 2',3',6'-tri-O-acetyl-4'-O-trans-p-(O-beta-d-glucopyranosyl)coumaroyl-7-ketologanin (1), 2'-O-caffeoylloganic acid (2), 2'-O-p-hydroxybenzoylloganic acid (3), 2'-O-trans-p-coumaroylloganic acid (4), and 2'-O-cis-p-coumaroylloganic acid (5), were isolated from whole plants of Gentiana loureirii along with six known iridoids, 7-ketologanin (6), loganin (7), loganic acid (8), sweroside, boonein, and isoboonein, and three other known compounds. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic means and chemical correlations. The isolated iridoids were evaluated for antibacterial and antioxidant activities, but were either inactive or very weakly active.
