Phenylpropanoid and flavonoid glycosides from the leaves of Clerodendrum infortunatum (Lamiaceae)

Abstract

Clerodendrum infortunatum L. (syn.: Clerodendrum viscosum Vent.), a member of the Lamiaceae, yielded one undescribed jasmonic acid derivative, ten acteosides, and two flavonoids. The jasmonic acid derivative was identified as 6'-O-caffeoyl-12-glucopyranosyloxyjasmonic acid. The acteosides were identified as isoacteoside, acteoside, 2''-O-acetyl-martyonside, 3''-O-acetyl-martyonside, martynoside, brachynoside, leucosceptoside A, jionoside C, jionoside D, incanoside C. The flavonoids were identified as apigenin 7-O-glucuronide and acacetin 7-O-glucuronide. The structures of the isolated components have been identified by UHPLC-HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, spectrometric techniques, and in comparison with published NMR data. The absolute sugar configuration was determined by GLC-MS/MS analysis of the octylated derivative of the sugar moiety after hydrolysis. Among the known compounds, ten are reported for the first time from this species, while the acteoside leucosceptoside A and the two flavonoids have been isolated for the first time from the genus Clerodendrum. The chemophenetic significance of the compounds obtained from C. infortunatum is summarized in comparison to those found in other Clerodendrum species.
