Abstract

Glycosylated phenylpropanoids and iridoids were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract from the roots of Stachytarpheta cayennensis by step gradient countercurrent chromatography (CCC). The chosen gradient utilized a stepwise increase of the butanol ratio in a normal phase separation, utilizing a biphasic EtOAc:BuOH:H2O solvent system, 1:X:1 v/v/v, in four steps: A−X=0.05, B−X=0.2, C−X=0.5 and D−X=1.0. The sequential increase of BuOH in the organic phase of the CCC solvent system, and wash‐off of stationary phase allowed the isolation of 4 compounds identified as martinoside, isoverbascoside, verbascoside, ipolamiide, and two more iridoid glycosides. These compounds covered a wide span of polarities.
