Abstract

A new phenolic glucoside was isolated from the aerial parts of Origanum tyttanthum, an Uzbek medicinal plant, together with 12 known compounds. The structure of the new compound was elucidated as 4-O-β-d-glucopyranosylbenzyl-3′-hydroxyl-4′-methoxybenzoate (1) based on the spectral and chemical evidence.
