Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Eriope blanchetii and E. latifolia (Lamiaceae) yielded podophyllotoxin, as well as the aryltetralin Lignans α- and β-peltatin and yatein. Oleanolic, ursolic and epikatonic acids were also isolated. This is the first occurrence of podophyllotoxin in the family.
