Abstract

Two new maltol glycosides, maltol 6'-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside and maltol 6'-O-(5-O-p-coumaroyl)-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside, were isolated from Elsholtzia rugulosa Hemsl. along with 11 known compounds including prunasin and amygdalin. The structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence. This is the second example of isolation of cyanogenic glycosides from Lamiaceous Plants.
