“…Loganin was first isolated from Strychnos nux vomica (Jones & Sheldrick, 1980). Its chemically deduced structure (Battersby, Hall, & Southgate, 1969;Brechbu¨hler-Bader, Coscia, Loew, Von Szczepanski, & Arigoni, 1968;Inouye, Yoshida, & Tobita, 1968) has been confirmed by total synthesis (Bu¨chi, Carlson, Powell, & Tietze, 1973) and by X-ray structure determination of a bromo derivative (Lentz & Rossmann, 1969). Sweroside was first isolated from Swertia japonica Makino in 1967 (Inouye et al, 1967) and was first seen in Gentiana genus in 1974 from G. Lutea L. (Bricout, 1974).…”
