Irregular linear sesquiterpene dilactones from Anthemis auriculata Boiss

Nat Prod Res. 2008;22(10):907-14. doi: 10.1080/14786410701642730.

Abstract

Seven new irregular linear sesquiterpene lactones, epi-antheindurolide A (1), epi-antheindurolide A-5,6-oxide (2), 5-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-6,13-dehydro-epi-antheinduro lide A (3), 5-hydroperoxy-5,6-dihydro-6,13-dehydro-epi-antheindurolide A (4), epi-antheindurolide B (5), 6-hydroxy-5,6-dihydro-4,5-dehydro-epi-antheindurolide A (6) and 6-hydroperoxy-5,6-dihydro-4,5-dehydro-epi-antheindurolide A (7), were isolated from the flowers of Anthemis auriculata Bioss. Their structures were established by spectroscopic techniques. The discussed compounds were found to be stereoisomers of recently reported lactones for A. arvensis.
