Phytochemical investigation of Villaria odorata, a Philippine endemic Rubiaceae species, led to the identification of three iridoids, morindolide (1), hydrophylin A (2), hydrophylin B (3) and a norsesquiterpenoid, vomifoliol (4). This is the first report of compounds 1-4 from the genus Villaria. These classes of compounds proved to be important chemotaxonomic markers in the Rubiaceae family in combination with morphology and molecular data.
对菲律宾特有的茜草科物种毛药藤（Villaria odorata）进行植物化学研究，鉴定出三种环烯醚萜类化合物，巴戟天内酯（1）、水甘草素A（2）、水甘草素B（3）以及一种降倍半萜类化合物，vomifoliol（4）。这是毛药藤属中化合物1 - 4的首次报道。结合形态学和分子数据，这些化合物类别被证明是茜草科重要的化学分类学标记。
