What it is Filled

Loganin is a naturally occurring iridoid glucoside, structurally the methyl ester of loganic acid, that serves as an intermediate in plant biosynthesis of secologanin and downstream monoterpenoid indole alkaloids.

In scope

  • Molecular identity, stereochemistry, synonyms and reconciled chemical identifiers
  • Sample composition, grade, purity, impurities and analytical identity evidence
  • Solid and solution states, measured properties and condition-dependent stability
  • Isolation or synthesis provenance and links to biological occurrence
  • Evidence supporting handling, research suitability and substance-specific restrictions

Out of scope

  • Whole plants, botanical taxonomy and cultivation practices
  • Complete compositions and claimed benefits of loganin-containing extracts or products
  • Manufacturing and extraction processes as independently operated systems
  • Separate substance models for loganic acid, loganetin, secologanin and loganin derivatives
  • Disease models, treatment protocols and clinical prescribing decisions

Why it exists Filled

Enable an agent to recognize loganin, assess the identity and condition of a supplied sample, and determine its suitability for a specified analytical or research use.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Require agreement with the stereochemically specified loganin structure; a name or molecular formula alone cannot exclude stereoisomers. ChEBI identifies C17H26O10 and InChIKey AMBQHHVBBHTQBF-UOUCRYGSSA-N. [ChEBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/CHEBI:15771)
  • Confirm the β-D-glucoside linkage and retained sugar to distinguish loganin from its functional parent loganetin. [ChEBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/CHEBI:15771)
  • Confirm the methyl ester and hydroxyl substitution pattern when assessing possible confusion with loganic acid or 7-deoxyloganin. [ChEBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/CHEBI:15771)
  • Require sample-specific separation and identity evidence before treating a plant extract or a peak labelled loganin as isolated loganin.
  • Reconcile identifier records through structures: PubChem search identifies (-)-loganin as CID 87691, whereas ChEBI links CID 91727262; their equivalence remains unresolved here. [PubChem](https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Loganin) [ChEBI](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/CHEBI:15771)

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
