Abstract: Eleven new secoiridoid aglycones involving unusual C9-skeleton:swerimilegenins A-F (1-6); bis-C9-skeleton:swerimilegenin G (7); and C10-skeleton:swerimilegenins H-K (8-11), as well as six known ones, were isolated from the low-polarity part of the traditional Chinese herb medicine Swertia mileensis. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data and X-ray diffraction. Biogenetically, swerimilegenin A (1) belonged to 10-nor-secoiridoid, and swerimilegenins B-F (2-6) were 1-nor-secoiridoids. Erythrocentaurin (12) and gentiogenal (15) showed moderate anti-HBV activity on HepG 2.2.15 cell line in vitro.
