Abstract
The method of Hill and Van Heyningen (Biochem. Jour. 49: 332. 1951) was applied to the isolation of aucubin and asperuloside from plants. Aucubin was isolated for the first time from Buddleia globosa (family Loganiaceae), bringing the number of families known to produce aucubin to 8. Asperuloside was isolated for the 1st time from a non-rubiaceous plant, Daphniphyllum macropodum (Euphorbiaceae). The empirical formula C17H24O11 has been suggested for asperuloside. A crystalline acetate of asperuloside was obtained.Keywords
