A new iridoid glycoside, verbaspinoside (1),was isolated from the aerial pa
rts of Verbascum spinosum. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of che
mical and spectral data as 6-O-[(2 "-O-trans-cinnamoyl)-alpha-L-rhamnopyran
osyl]-catalpol. Additionally, three known iridoids (aucubin, catalpol, and
ajugol) and three phenylpropanoid glycosides [acteoside, angoroside A (2),
and angoroside C (3)] were isolated and identified.
