PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF PHLOMIS OLIVIERI BENTH. AND PHLOMIS PERSICA BOISS

Ethyl acetate and n- butanol fractions obtained from the column chromatography of methanolic extract of aerial parts of P. olivieri gave chrysoeriol-7-O-β-D-glucoside (I) and verbascoside (II), respectively. In addition, two flavonoid glycosides as compound (I) and chrysoeriol-7-β-D- (3''-E-p-coumaroyl) glucoside (III) and one iridoid glycoside, namely, lamiide (IV) were isolated from the ethyl acetate, ether and nbutanol fractions of a methanolic extract of aerial parts of Phlomis persica, respectively. Isolation and structural elucidation of compounds were accomplished by PTLC, CC, HPLC and spectroscopic methods (UV, FTIR, EIMS, 1 H-NMR, 13 C-NMR, DEPT, 1 H1 H COSY, HMQC and HMBC).
