Abstract

Phytochemical analysis of the aerial parts of Stachys candida Bory & Chaubard, growing wild in Greece led to the isolation of eleven bioactive secondary metabolites. Nine flavones, one of them methylated, one phenylethanoid glycoside and one phenolic acid were isolated from the methanol extract of this plant. The structure elucidation of the isolated compounds was achieved on the basis of NMR spectroscopy (1D and 2D spectra). The phytochemical profile was appeared to be similar with other Greek endemic Stachys species, while a strong difference was the absence of iridoids. Importantly, the chemotaxonomic significance of the isolated compounds has extensively been described.
