Abstract
A new sesquiterpene glycoside with a picrotoxane-type aglycone has been isolated from the stems of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. Its structure was elucidated as 7,12-dihydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-11-isopropyl-6-methyl-9-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.02,6]undecan-10-one-15-O-β-d-glucopyranoside on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical methods.
