Two New Eudesmane Sesquiterpenoids from the Flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum

The fowers of Chrysanthemum indicum,i.e.Ye-ju-hua recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,has been widely used in China as an important heat-clearing and detoxifying herb for the treatment of infammation,headache,and vertigo.A phytochemical investigation of this herb has led to the isolation of two new eudesmane sesquiterpenoids,7-epi-eudesm4(15),11(13)-diene-1β,3β-diol(1)and 7-epi-1β-hydroxy-β-eudesmol(2).The molecular structures of these new sesquiterpenoids were established based on the comprehensive spectroscopic analyses,including NMR,MS,and IR,and comparing with the literatures.

Two new eudesmane derivatives from Verbesina virginica

Two new eudesmane derivatives were isolated from the leaves and flowers of Verbesina virginica,along with the known 6-O-β-E -p-coumaroyl-4α-hydroxyeudesmane(1).Their structures were determined as 6-O-β-Z-p-coumaroyl-4α-hydroxyeudesmane(2) and 6-O-α-E-p-coumaroyl-1β-4α-dihydroxyeudesmane(3) by spectroscopic methods.

Sesquiterpene glycosides from the roots of Codonopsis pilosula

Three new sesquiterpene glycosides,named codonopsesquilosides A C(1 3),were isolated from an aqueous extract of the dried roots of Codonopsis pilosula.Their structures including absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods.These glycosides are categorized as C_(15) carotenoid(1),gymnomitrane(2),and eudesmane(3)types of sesquiterpenoids,respectively.Compound 1 is the first diglycoside of C_(15) carotenoids to be reported.Compound 2 represents the second reported example of gymnomitrane-type sesquiterpenoids from higher plants.The absolute configurations were supported by comparison of the experimental circular dichroism(CD)spectra with the calculated electronic CD(ECD)spectra of 13,their aglycones,and model compounds based on quantummechanical time-dependent density functional theory.The influences of the glycosyls on the calculated ECD spectra of the glycosidic sesquiterpenoids,as well as some nomenclature and descriptive problems with gymnomitrane-type sesquiterpenoids are discussed.

Three new eudesmane sesquiterpenes from Artemisia vestita

Three eudesmane sesquiterpene lactones, namely artemivestinolides A-C （1-3）, along with three known 11-epimeric lactones （4-6）, were isolated from the aerial parts ofArtemisia vestim. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses （IR, HR-ESIMS, 1D NMR and 2D NMR）, and the absolute configurations were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction （with copper radiation）. Furthermore, in an in vitro assay, the three new compounds exhibited a moderate inhibition of the lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced nitric： oxide （NO） production in BV-2 microglial cells.

Polyhydroxylated eudesmane sesquiterpenoids and sesquiterpenoid glucoside from the flower buds of Tussilago farfara

Chemical fractionation of the n-BuOH partition,which was generated from the EtOH extract of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara,afforded a series of polar constituents including four new sesquiterpenoids(1-4),one new sesquiterpenoid glucoside(5)and one known analogue(6)of the eudesmane type,as well as five known quinic acid derivatives(7-11).Structures of the new compounds were unambiguously characterized by detailed spectroscopic analyses,with their absolute configurations being established by A-ray crystallography,electronic circular dichroism(ECD)calculation and induced ECD experiments.The inhibitory effect of all the isolates against LPS-induced NO production in murine RAW264.7 macrophages was evaluated,with isochlorogenic acid A(7)showing significant inhibitory activity.
