description

From Gentianella nitida twelve known metabolites were isolated and identified by HPLC-UV and/or by spectroscopic methods as secologanoside, amaroswerin, amarogentin (secoiridoids), isoorientin (C-glucosylflavone), mangiferin, demethylbellidifolin 8-O-glucoside, norswertianine 1-O-glucoside, swertianine 1-O-primeveroside, swertianine 8-O-glucoside, norswertianine, demethylbellidifolin, and swertianine (xanthone glycosides and aglycones). Secologanoside is reported here for the first time in Gentianaceae species ; the antioxidant mangiferin was obtained as the major compound in good yield.
