A new C9 nor-isoprenoid glucoside from Rantherium suaveolens.

The new C(9) nor-isoprenoid 3-methyl-octa-1,5-diene-7-one-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, named as ranthenone glucoside (1), together with the previously known 9-hydoxylinaloyl glucoside (2), sitosterol-3beta-O-[6'-palmitoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside] (3), scopoletin (4), fraxetin (5), and scopolin (6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Rantherium suaveolens. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis.
