High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Iridoids in Cruciata Taurica

Abstract
The aerial and underground parts of C. taurica (Pallas ex Willd.) Ehrend. s.l. (Rubiaceae) yielded 3 iridoids i.e., monotropein, asperuloside and aucubin. These compounds were separated and quantitated by reversed-phase HPLC [high performance liquid chromatography].
