A new carotenoid glycoside from Rehmannia glutinosa

A new carotenoid glycoside, namely neo-rehmannioside (1), together with five known compounds, 6-O-seco-hydroxyaeginetoyl ajugol (2), oxyrehmaionoside B (3), ajugol (4), geniposidic acid (5) and geniposide (6) was isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of dry roots of Rehmannia glutinosa. The structure of the new compound (1) was determined based on MS, IR, 1-D and 2-D NMR spectral data.
