The aerial parts of Oxyphyllum ulicinum afforded, in addition to known compounds, 15 new germacrane derivatives with a 1β, 10α-epoxide, a carboxyl group at C-4, and different ester groups at C-9 and C-14. From the aerial ...

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, ...

Two new sesquiterpene evoninate alkaloids, aquifoliunine E-III and aquifoliunine E-IV, were isolated from the root bark of Maytenus aquifolium. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic ...

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 ...

Root extracts of Holostylis reniformis (Aristolochiaceae) yielded three new natural sesquiterpenes, a sesquiterpene with an unusual carbon skeleton, 4,5-seco-guaiane (7-epi-11-hydroxychabrolidione A, 1), a nine-membered ...

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.
