From the fruits of Gardenia jasminoides forma grandiflora, which has been employed as a Chinese crude drug, Shanzhi-i, three new iridoid glucosides, gardenoside (1), shanzhiside (3), and methyl deacetylasperulosidate (4), were isolated along with known geniposide (2) and genipin gentiobioside (5), and the structures of the new glucosides were established. Gardenoside (1) also occurs in the leaves of this plant together with geniposide (2).
