Two new aromatic acids from Clerodendrum formicarum Gurke (Lamiaceae) of Cameroon

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2010 Oct;12(10):894-8. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2010.509718.

Abstract

The ethanolic extract of the leaves of Clerodendrum formicarum, a Lameacious plant of Cameroon, afforded two new salicylic acid derivatives named formoic acids A and B along with four known constituents which have been obtained for the first time from this source. They include flemingipanic acid, martynoside, verbascoside, and seguinoside K. Structures of all the isolated constituents have been elucidated with the aid of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques.
