Two New Megastigmane Glycosides and a New Iridoid Glycoside from Gelsemium elegans

Two new megastigmane glycosides, eleganosides A and B ( 1 and 3 , resp.), and one new iridoid glycoside, gouwenoside A ( 4 ), together with two known compounds, foliasalacioside B 1 ( 2 ) and loganin ( 5 ), were isolated from the aerial parts of Gelsemium elegans ( Gardn. et Champ.) Benth. (Loganiaceae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR techniques. The absolute configuration of 1 was determined...
