Abstract
The glycosidic constituents of whole platns of Anoectochilus formosanus propagated by tissue culture were investigated. A new compound, 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxymethyl)-5-hydroxymethylfuran, along with the known compounds, 3-(R)-3-β-D-glucopyranosyloxybutanolide (kinsenoside), 3-(R)-3-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-hydroxy-butanoic acid, 1-O-isopropyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, (R)-(+)-3, 4-dihydroxy-butanoic acid γ-lactone, 4-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)benzyl alcohol, (6R, 9S)-9-hydroxy-megastigma-4, 7-dien-3-one-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and corchoionoside C were isolated.
