Monoterpenoid glycoside derivatives from Melaleuca alternifolia

The phytochemical investigation of leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) Cheel led to the isolation of a new monoterpenoid glycoside derivative melaleuoside ( 1 ), together with four known monoterpenoid glycoside derivatives ( 2 – 5 ). Structure elucidation of these compounds was performed based on NMR spectral data and MS. Compounds 2 – 5 were isolated from the genus of Melaleuca for the first time. Furthermore, we also discussed...
