Abstract:
A new sulfur-containing spiroketal glycoside, breynin I (1), and a new terpenic glycoside, breyniaionoside E (2), together with 10 known compounds, were isolated from the aerial parts of Breynia vitis-idaea (Euphorbiaceae), a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis and wounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and modified Mosher's method.
