Phytochemical analysis of Plantago sempervirens from Majella National Park

In this study, we report the isolation and identification of several compounds from Plantago sempervirens Crantz, collected in the protected area of Majella National Park. We examined the polar fraction, in particular the iridoidic one. Aucubin, caryoptoside, plantarenaloside and gardoside were isolated and identified. For the first time, in this species, 8-epiloganic acid was recognised. Also, verbascoside, a phenylethanoid glycoside, was recognised in this plant.
