Seven furanoeremophilanes from three Senecio species

The investigation of two further Senecio species and the re-investigation of S. inaequidens afforded, in addition to known compounds, seven new furanoeremophilane derivatives. Six of these are closely related to cacalol, a sesquiterpene type which predominates in the species investigated.     

Sesquiterpene lactones from Eremanthus species

The investigation of three Eremanthus species afforded, in addition to known compounds, several new sesquiterpenelactones, a cumambrin B isobutyrate, four lactones related to the eremantholides, two to zexbrevin and one to goyazensolide. Furthermore, a new coniferyl alcohol derivative was isolated. The overall picture of the genus is very uniform. The occurrence of eremanthine and germacranolides with a furanone ring seems to be especially typical.     

Neue,abgewandelte pseudoguajanolide aus Psilostrophe villosa

Investigation of the North American species Psilostrophe villosa afforded, in addition to known compounds, five new sesquiterpene lactones, which all turn out to be modified pseudoguaianolides, most of them closely related to hymenolide. However, one of the lactones is a new type of nor-pseudoguaianolide. Furthermore a new monoacetylated borneol-β-D-glucoside is present. The chemotaxonomic situation is discussed briefly.     

Three germacranolides and other constituents from Eremanthus species

The re-investigation of Eremanthus glomerulatus afforded three new germacranolides and a guaianolide, while from E. mollis two known furanoheliangolides and a new phenylpropanol derivative were isolated. The germacranolides most probably are precursors of the widespread glaucolides. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The chemotaxonomic situation is discussed briefly.     

New germacranolides,guaianolides and rearranged Guaianolides from Lasiolaena santosii

The aerial parts of L. santosii afforded three new diterpenes, a phenylpropanol, three eudesmane derivatives, three germacranolides, seventeen guaianolides and four rearranged guaianolides of a, so far, unknown type. Furthermore, several known compounds were isolated. The structures of the new compounds, the separations of which caused difficulties, were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and by some chemical transformations. The chemotaxonomic situation is discussed briefly.
