Primary function of Catalpol (CAS NO.2415-24-9) is to stimulate the production of adrenal cortical hormones, it is increases the production of sex hormones. Catalpol also exhibits anti-inflammatory activity and has shown to increase the production of androgens yielded by the adrenal gland, it can lead to increases in muscle mass.

 Catalpol (CAS NO.2415-24-9) can synthesis by biosynthetic pathway. At frist, extract from geraniol with epi-iridodial. Addition of a glucose at carbon 1 (C1) of the iridoid backbone and oxidation of the aldehyde at C4 of epi-iridotrial produced 8-epiloganic acid. A subquent hydrolysis at C8 yielded mussaenosidic acid, followed by a dehydration to yield deoxyngeniposidic acid. The next precursor, geniposidic acid, was furnished via hydrolysis of C10, and then a decarboxylation to remove the carboxylic acid at C4 provided bartsioside. The very widely known and accepted precursor to catalpol, aucubin, was then furnished via hydroxylation at C6. Finally an epoxidation with the alcohol at C10 yielded the natural product, catalpol.
