Aerial parts of species Inula aschersoniana JANKA var. aschersoniana have been shown to contain parthenolide (I), costunolide diepoxide (III) and the hitherto undescribed inusoniolide (IV) whose structure, including the absolute configuration, was determined using 1H NMR and CD spectroscopy.

The new sesquiterpene (1 R,2 R,3 R,6 R,7 S)-1-acetoxy-2,3-dmydroxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolene (3) together with ten known terpenes and three known flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts and from the roots of Stevia tomentosa. The structure of 3 follows from spectral studies, the relative chirality at C-3 follows from 1H NMR coupling constants comparison with the corresponding calculated values obtained by applying a generalized Karplus-type relationship to the dihedral angles of model compounds, and the absolute configuration is assumed in analogy to known (2 R,3 R,6 R,7 S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolen-1-one (2).

From the endemic Cuban species Rauvolfia salicifolia GRISEB nine alkaloids were isolated of which the following seven had been already described: (+)-ajmalidine (I), (-)-reserpiline (II), (-)-isoreserpiline (III), (-)-isocarapanaubine (IV), (-)-ajmalicine (V), (+)-vellosimine (VI), and (+)-yohimbine (VII). The structure of (-)-raucubaine (VIII) had been previously determined by X-ray diffraction and the structure of the alkaloid (-)-raucubainine (IX) was suggested on the basis of its conversion to (-)-raucubaine (VIII). The absolute configuration of (-)-raucubaine and (-)-raucubainine was elucidated by CD spectroscopy.

This work describes the chromatographic fractionation of the aerial parts of Calea pinnatifida and the structural characterization and determination of the absolute configuration of the isolated compounds as well as their antitumor potential. The HPLC fractionation of the CH2Cl2 phase of the MeOH extract from the leaves of C. pinnatifida led to the isolation of two related sesquiterpene lactones (STLs): calein C (1) and calealactone B (2). Additionally, during the purification process, a derivative of calein C (3) was formed as a product of the Michael addition of MeOH. The structures of Compounds 1–3 were established based on spectroscopic and spectrometric data, while the absolute stereochemistry was established by vibrational circular dichroism. In order to evaluate the effect of the conjugated double bonds on the cytotoxic activity of STLs, Compounds 1–3 were tested against anaplastic (KTC-2) and papillary (TPC-1) thyroid carcinoma cells. Calein C was the most active of the STLs, and displayed activity against both KTC-2 and TPC-1. On the other hand, the calein C derivative (3) was the least cytotoxic of all the compounds tested. These results are promising and suggest the importance of studying sesquiterpene lactones isolated from C. pinnatifida in terms of antitumor activity, especially considering the effects of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl systems.

The title compound, C15H20O3, a sesquiterpene lactone, was isolated from the aerial parts ofCarpesium minusHemsl. (Compositae). The molecule is composed of three rings, with the two cyclohexane rings in chair conformations and the cyclopentane ring adopting a twist conformation. TheA/Bring junction istrans-fused. The absolute configuration shown has been arbitrarily assigned. In the crystal, molecules are linked into [100] chains by O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

On the basis of spectroscopic, particularly 1H NMR data, isosilerolide was assigned structure I, including the absolute configuration. The structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. Isosilerolide represents a new stereoisomeric type of natural eudesmanolides, characterized as 5βH, 6αH, 7αH, 10αCH3-eudesman-6,12-olide. As shown by the chemical correlation of isosilerolide (I) with silerolide (III) and lasolide (X), the latter two natural lactones belong to this stereoisomeric group of eudesmanolides. Analysis of models and 1H NMR data shows that structures of some eudesman-6,12-olides, published by other authors, should be corrected.

Chemical investigations of the marine-derived fungus Verticillium tenerum yielded two new hydroxylated bisabolane-type sesquiterpenes verticinol A (1) and B (2). The planar structures of the new compounds were elucidated by employing spectroscopic (NMR, UV, and IR) and mass spectrometric techniques. The absolute configuration of the cyclohexenyl moiety was deduced by a combination of CD spectroscopy and NOESY measurements.
