Abstract
Iridoid glycosides, which form an important group of cyclopentane monoterpenoids, are biosynthesized by a large number of plant species belonging to approximately twenty important botanical families. Although they possess a wide range of pharmacological and biological properties, such as anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anti-oxidative, immunomodulatory, neuroprotective, etc. [1,2], no molecule is currently used as a drug. However, iridoids, which possess a highly functionalized aglycon, may be regarded as starting material for the synthesis of a number of new chiral molecules.
