The dried aerial parts of Gentiana depressa were found to contain the
known flavones, isoscoparin, 2''-glucosyl isovitexin and 2''-glucosyl
isoorientin, the known iridoid loganin,:and two new iridoid glucosides
: 3''-glucosyl depresteroside and depressine. The last two compounds w
ere characterized at eta-glucopyranosyloxy-2-hydroxy-benzoyl)-loganoyl
] secologanol and 7-(3-beta-glucopyranosyloxy-2-hydroxy-benzoyl) secol
oganol, respectively, by spectroscopy and chemical transformations.
