Article history:
Chromatographic separation of an extract of the aerial part of Elsholtzia bodinieri resulted in the isolation
of three new 18,19-seco-ursane glycosides, bodiniosides E-G (1–3). Their structures were elucidated as

The species Elsholtzia bodinieri Vaniot, belonging to the genus
Elsholtzia (Labiatae), is an annual herbaceous plant distributed in
Yunnan and Guizhou Provinces in China. It is generally known as
NMR spectrum (Table 1) of 1 revealed six methyl signals at dH 1.35
(3H, s, Me-24), 0.74 (3H, s, Me-25), 1.03 (3H, s, Me-26), 1.17 (3H, s,
Me-27), 2.06 (3H, s, Me-29), and 0.96 (3H, d, J = 6.6 Hz, Me-30),
three oxygen-bearing methines at dH 4.09 (1H, m, H-2), 3.28 (1H, d,
J = 9.1 Hz, H-3) and 4.56 (1H, dd, J = 1.5, 10.0 Hz, H-12), as well as an
olefinic proton at dH 6.54 (1H, s, H-18). In addition, a series of
typical signals of two sugar residues were recognized, including
two anomeric proton signals at
.32 (1H, d, J = 8.2 Hz, H-1 ), revealing
both sugar residues on the basis of their JH1,H2 coupling constants

treatment of cough, headache, pharyngitis, fever and hepatitis (
Jiangsu New Medical College, 1985). Previous phytochemical
studies on E. bodinieri showed that this plant was a rich source
of triterpenoids, diterpenoids and flavonoids as well as their
corresponding glycosides, including oleanane triterpenoid sapo-
nins (Zhu et al., 2002; Hu et al., 2007; Li et al., 2012), 18,19-seco-
ursane monodesmoside saponins (Li et al., 2005), clerodane
diterpenoid glycosides (Hu et al., 2008), flavonoid and flavanone
glycosides (Li et al., 2008). With an aim to discover more new
compounds from E. bodinieri, we further systematically investigat-
ed the n-BuOH soluble fraction of this plant, which led to the
isolation of three new 18,19-seco-ursane glycosides, bodiniosides
E-G (1–3). We report herein the isolation and structural elucidation
of the isolates.

the H and C NMR data of 1 with those of laevigin B (Yan et al.,

presence of an additional Glc moiety in 1. The glycosidic linkages
