New Glycoside Esters from the Aerial Parts of Artemisia absinthium Linn.

Phytochemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Artemisia absinthium Linn. (Asteraceae) yielded four new phytoconstituents characterized as stigmast-5,22-dien-3β-ol-21-oic acid-3β-glucopyranosyl-2'- octadec-9''-enoate (1); lanost-24-en-3β-ol-11-one-28-oic acid-21,23 α-olide-3β-D-glucopyranosyl-2'-dihydrocaffeoate-6'- decanoate (2); tricosan-14-on-1,4-olide-5-eicos-9'-enoate (3) and 3,11-dimethyldodecan-1,7-dioic acid-1-β-D-glucopyranosyl-6'- octadec-9''-enoate (4). The structures of these phytoconstituents have been elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.
