摘要
A phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Parasenecio rubescens(S.Moore)Y.L.Chen yielded 14 previ-ously undescribed,highly oxidized bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids,named pararunines L-Y,along with one known oplopane-type sesquiterpenoid.The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis,in-cluding nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry(HR-ESI-MS)techniques.Motivated by traditional uses and previous studies on this genus,all isolated compounds were subjected to in vitro cytotoxicity assays against four human cancer cell lines(MCF-7,Hela,HCT116,and HT-29).Considering that the reported chemical constituents of nu-merous other species within this genus primarily consist of eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoids,our findings not only expand the struc-tural diversity of bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids but also contribute valuable scientific evidence to the chemotaxonomy of this genus.
