New Alkaloid and Aromatic Glucoside from the Flowers of Cymbidium Lunagrad Eternal Green.

In this paper, we investigated the chemical components of the flowers of Cymbidium Lunagrad Eternal Green for the first time. In the whole post-fertilization, a new alkaloid, named Lunagrad A (1), and a new aromatic glucoside, named Lunagrad B (2), were isolated from the MeOH extract of the flowers of Cymbidium Lunagrad Eternal Green, along with other six known aromatic compounds (3-8) and three flavone glucosides (9-11). These structures were determined on the basis of NMR experiments, as well as chemical evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
