Gnapholide: a new guaiac-dimer from Pulicaria gnaphalodes (Asteraceae)

Nat Prod Lett. 2002 Jun;16(3):179-86. doi: 10.1080/10575630290004260.

Abstract

The ethyl acetate soluble part of the chloroform extract of Pulicaria gnaphalodes belonging to the family Asteraceae afforded a new sesquiterpene-dimer of guaiane class named as gnapholide and anabsinthin of the same skeleton. The structures of both the compounds were elucidated with the aid of spectroscopic techniques including 2D NMR.
