Aucubin
is begin in accepted verbena. Aucubin is a monoterpenoid based compound.
Aucubin, like all iridoids, has a cyclopentan-[C]-pyran skeleton. Iridoids can
abide of ten, nine, or rarely eight carbons in which C11 is added frequently
missing than C10. Aucubin has 10 carbons with the C11 carbon missing. The
stereochemical configurations at C5 and C9 advance to cis alloyed rings, which
are accepted to all iridoids absolute carbocylclic- or seco-skeleton in
non-rearranged form. Oxidative break at C7-C8 band affords secoiridoids. The
endure accomplish in the biosynthesis of iridoids usually abide of
O-glycosylation and O-alkylation. Aucubin, a glycoside iridoid, has an O-linked
glucose moiety. Aucubin is an iridoid glycoside. Iridoids are frequently begin
in plants and action as arresting compounds. Irioids abatement the advance ante
of abounding generalist herbivores. Aucubin is begin in the leaves of Aucuba
japonica (Cornaceae), Eucommia ulmoides (Eucommiaceae), and Plantago asiatic
(Plantaginaceae), etc, plants used in acceptable Chinese and folk medicine.
Aucubin was begin to assure adjoin alarmist accident induced by carbon
tetrachloride or alpha-amanitin in mice and rats if 80 mg/kg was dosed
intraperitoneally. Geranyl pyrophosphate is the forerunner for iridoids.
