Chemical constituents from Eupatorium chinense

Abstract

Two new monoterpenoid glycosides, α-(E)-acaridiol 8-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) and α-(E)-acaridiol 9-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), as well as a new thiophen, 2-acetyl-3-hydroxy-5-(prop-1-ynyl)thiophen 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), were isolated from the roots of Eupatorium chinense. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic and chemical analyses.

Keywords:

• Eupatorium chinense
• monoterpenoid glycoside
• thiophen
