Phytochemistry. 2003 Dec;64(8):1341-4. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(03)00501-6.

Abstract

From seeds of Strychnos nux-vomica three iridoids, 6'-O-acetylloganic acid, 4'-O-acetylloganic acid and 3'-O-acetylloganic acid were isolated together with two known iridoid glucosides, loganic acid and 7-O-acetylloganic acid. The structures of the compounds were established by ESI-MS and by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic methods.
