TWO NEW VALEPOTRIATES FROM THE ROOTS OF VALERIANA SISYMBRIIFOLIA

A dicholoromethane extract of the roots of Valeriana sisymbriifolia Vahl. afforded a new valepotriate. I-α-aceisovaltrate and a new valepotriatehydrine, acetoxydesiovaleroxy-1-α-acetoxy-isovaleroxy isovaltratehydrine together with a known compound, valtrate. Structural assignments of the compounds were based on spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, MS, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR).
