Three iridoid glucosides, 8-O-acethylharpagide (1), harpagoside (2), and 6-O-vanilloylajugol (3), were isolated from the roots of Verbascum lasianthum Boiss. ex Bentham. In addition, 2 phenylethanoid glycosides, verbascoside {=acteoside, [b -(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-(3' -O-a -L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(4' -O-caffeoyl)-b -D-glucopyranoside} (4) and poliumoside {= [b -(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-ethyl]-(3',6' -O-a -L-dirhamnopyranosyl)-(4' -O-caffeoyl)-b -D-glucopyranoside} (5), were also isolated. The structures of all compounds were established by spectroscopic evidence (UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR, LC-ESIMS). Compounds 2-5 demonstrated scavenging properties toward the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical in TLC autographic assays.
