In the continuing study of its chemical constituents led to find nine unique iridoids and iridoid glycosides, including three new iridoids (1-3) and six previously unknown irioid glycosides (5-10), and one known compound (4). Among them, compound 1 was a deformed iridoid, while compounds 3, 5-7, and 10 formed a new ring in their skeletons which was uncommon in this genus. For compound 3, the new ring existed between C-3 and C-10, while a 1,3-dioxane appeared between C-7 and C-10 in compounds 5-7, and 10. Moreover, compound 10 was a bis-iridoid glycoside, which were the first reported in P. scabiosaefolia. And the sugar of irioid glycosides (5-10) was glucose at C-11 except 9 with a 5-deoxyglucose moiety. All their structures were confirmed based on the extensive spectroscopic analysis, including IR, UV, HR-ESI-MS, ECD, and 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments. And their cytotoxic activities against HL-60, A-549, SMMC-7721, MCF-7, SW480 were tested.
