Iridoid glucosides from aerial parts of Veronica persica poir in Lam growing in Egypt

ABSTRACT

From the ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of veronica persica poir. in Lam., aucubin, catalpol, veronicoside, amphicoside, catalposide, verproside and 6-o-veratroylcatalpol were isolated and their structures were established by chemical, chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. Veronica persica poir in Lam. can be differentiated from the other closely related Veronica species of group Agrestis by its content of catalpol esters of benzoic acid derivatives
