Iridoid Glycosides from Underground Parts of Ajuga remota
2011
Fractionation of EtOAc and aqueous MeOH extracts of Ajuga remota underground part has led to the isolation of four new iridoid glycosides identified as 2',3'-diacetylharpagide ( 1), 6'-O-rhamnosylharpagide (2), 6'-O-galloyl-7,8-dehydroharpagide ( 3) and 6-O-xylosylharpagoside-B ( 4). Together with these were known compounds 8-O-acetylharpagide( 5), harpagide ( 6), cyasterone ( 7), 20-hydroecdysone ( 8), sengosterone ( 9), 3-O- �-glucopyranosylstigmasta-5, 25-diene ( 10 ), stigmasterol ( 11 ) and ergosterol-5, 8-endoperoxide ( 12 ). Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods as well as comparison with data from known compounds. In the in vitro larvicidal tests using 2 nd instar Aedes aegypti larvae, the EtOAc extract was found to be toxic with LC 50 of 5.30 ± 1.3 µg/mL, while the MeOH extract exhibited weak toxicity with an LC 50 value of 65.94 ± 0.4 µg/mL. Among the pure isolates tested, compound 12 associated with EtOAc extract was the active principal with LC 50 value of 4.40 ± 0.2.
