This book addresses chemical and biological aspects related to sesquiterpene lactones (STLs). Experts in different fields have been invited to contribute on this class of compound´s chemistry, isolation and identification, ...

Thirty six sesquiterpene lactones of the guaianolide and germacranolide-type from species of the Tribes Heliantheae and Vernonieae (Asteraceae) were evaluated for their antibacterial action. Thirty of them exhibited selective ...

The extracts and sesquiterpene lactones of S.argentinum were assayed to deter- mine their biological activity on Artemia salina. The most active compound was costunolide (1) with LD50 = 62 ppm.

Two novel sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from crude extract of the Eremanthus seidelii leaves. Reliable structural elucidations to these lactones were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and ...

Helivypolide G was isolated from leaves of Helianthus annuus L. cv. Stella. In the course of our ongoing research for new allelochemicals from Helianthus annuus, a novel dimeric bioactive sesquiterpene lactone, helivypolide ...

Helivypolide G was isolated from leaves of Helianthus annuus L. cv. Stella. In the course of our ongoing research for new allelochemicals from Helianthus annuus, a novel dimeric bioactive sesquiterpene lactone, helivypolide ...

A novel sesquiterpene lactone, podoandin, has been isolated from the leaves of Podocarpus andina. Its structure has been established by means of spectroscopic data and confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis. It exhibited ...

The extract of the aerial parts of Perityle emoryi gave, in addition to seven known sesquiterpene lactones, six new germacranolides and a guaianolide as well as a further thymol derivative together with several known ones ...

Three new and eight known sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the chloroform extract of the aerial parts of Vernonanthura lipeoensis. The lactone chemistry of V. lipeoensis resembles that of its fellow Argentine ...
