Benzyl benzoate glycosides from Oligoneuron rigidum.

Summary

Researchers discovered two new benzyl benzoate glycosides in the leaves and stems of the Oligoneuron rigidum. The glycosides were isolated and studied using LCMSMS and 1D and 2D NMR data. The study’s methods provide a full structural characterization of the glycosides. This discovery could lead to new pharmaceutical developments and highlight the importance of preserving prairie plant species.
