Echinacoside is a phenolic constituent, a caffeic acid glycoside from the phenylpropanoid class, in which a trisaccharide consisting of one glucose and two rhamnose moieties is glycosidically linked to one caffeic acid and one dihydroxyphenylethanol residue at the centrally situated rhamnose. This glycoside is a distinctive secondary metabolite of Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea pallida (to about 1%) but does not occur in Echinacea purpurea. It is also isolated from Cistanche spp. It was first isolated by Stoll et al. in 1950 from Echinacea angustifolia. It shows weak antibiotic activity in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococci.[1]
