Two new iridoid glucosides, humifusin A and humifusin B, with a 3-(4-hydrox
yphenyl)-propionate ester unit were isolated from Galium humifusum together
with 11 known iridoid glucosides asperuloside, scandoside, desacetylasperu
losidic acid, asperulosidic acid, geniposidic acid, desacetylasperuloside,
monotropein, V1, V2, V3 and daphylloside. The new iridoids were identified
on the basis of spectral data. C-13 NMR data for V1 and V2 iridoids are rep
orted.
