A new iridoid compound from Patrinia rupestris (Pall.) Juss.

Extraction of roots of Patrinia rupestris (Pall.) Juss. gave a new iridoid compound, 1ß,3α-diethyloxy-7-hydromethyl-4-(3-methyl-butyryloxymethyl)-cyclopenta-4(4a),7(7a)-diene[c]pyran-6-one (1), together with a known compound, (1α,4aα, 6α,7ß,7aα)-[4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-6,7-dihydroxy-1-(3-methyl-1-oxobutoxy) cyclopenta[c]pyran-4,7-diyl]bis(methylene) 3-methyl-butanoic acid ester (2). The structure of 1 was characterised by HRESIMS, IR, UV, 1-D NMR and 2-D NMR methods. Compound 2 was isolated from this genus for the first time.
