Growth inhibitory activities and nutritional indices of catalpol (1), 8-O-acetylharpagide (2), and harpagide (3) were determinated in larvae and adults of Tribolium castaneum, respectively. Compound 1 produced a series of allelochemical effects probably related with the DNA synthesis. This iridoid possessed the highest inhibitory activity against DNA polymerase. Molecular orbital calculations suggest that a π-π charge transfer recognition model could explain the action of iridioids toward nucleic acid synthesis.
Effect of an 8-Hydroxymethyl Substituent on the Base-Catalyced Ring Opening of 7,8-Epoxyiridoid Glucosides

Base-catalyzed ring opening of 7,8-epoxyiridoids has been found to be dependent on the substitution pattern at C-8.Epoxyiridoids 5, 6, and 10 (CH3-8) react in barium or sodium hydroxide solutions through a normal SN2 process, yielding the expected 7α,8β-diols while for iridoids 3 and 4 (CH2OH-8) the stereochemistry of the final diol function is reversed (7β,8α).This abnormal SN2 process is explained by a preliminary "epoxide migration" from carbons 7,8 to 8,10 followed by normal oxirane cleavage.Participation of the CH2OH-8 substituent in the cleavage reaction is proved by the behavior of the hexa-O-methyl derivative 3 which gives the normal 7α,8β-diol.Four new nonnatural iridoid glucosides (9, 11, 14, 16) are also described and spectroscopically (1H and 13C NMR) characterized.

Three new harpagide derivatives have been isolated from the aerial parts of Rogeria adenophylla (Pedaliaceae).Their structures have been established as 8-O-cis-cinnamoylharpagide, 8-O-cis-cinnamoyl-6-O-β-D-glucosyl-harpagide and 6'-O-p-coumaroyl harpagide respectively, the p-coumaroyl moiety of the latter existing in either the trans or cis configuration.In addition, harpagide, harpagoside, 8-O-trans-p-coumaroylharpagide, procumbide and verbascoside have been isolated and identified.
