From the aerial parts of Phlomis spinidens, two new flavonol bisglycosides,
phlomisflavosides A (1) and B (2). were isolated together with the known c
ompounds, astragalin, isoquercitrin, lamiridoside, phlomoside A, shanzhisid
e methyl ester, 8-O-acetylshanzhiside methyl ester, phlorigidoside C, rodio
loside (=salidroside), forsythoside B, citroside A and lariciresinol-4'-O-b
eta -D-glucoside. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based
on spectral and chemical evidence.
