From the aerial parts of Digitalis ferruginea ssp. Sen ferruginea (syn. D.
aurea Lindley), the phenylethanoid glycoside 1 was isolated in addition to
three cardioactive glycosides, lanatosides A (2), C (3) and glucogitoroside
(4). For the structure elucidation of the compounds, 1D and 2D-NMR ([LR-]C
OSY, HETCOR, NOESY) and MS techniques (ESI-MS and ESI-MS', DCI-NH3-MS, MALD
I-TOF) were used. The structure of the new compound 1 was established as 3-
hydroxy,4-methoxy-beta-phenylethoxy-3,6-di-O-(alpha-rhamnopyranosyl)-4-O-E-
feruloyl-beta-glucopyranoside.
