Sesquiterpenes from Centaurea aspera.

The aerial parts of two subspecies of Centaurea aspera L. (Asteraceae) yielded the germacranolides 1a-h, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the elemane derivatives 6d and 6f, the lignan matairesinol, the degraded terpene loliolide, and the onopordopicrin-valine dimeric adduct 7. From these, compounds 1e, 3 and 6d are natural products. The chemical composition of the two subspecies is very similar, a circumstance which does not support a taxonomic subdivision of the species.

Terracinolides A and B, Two Bishomoditerpene Lactones with a Novel Carbon Framework from Euphorbia terracina.

A methanolic extract of Euphorbia terracina L. has been shown to contain two peracylated polyhydroxy terpenoid lactones with a novel C(22) carbon framework. These metabolites, which have been named terracinolides A (1) and B (2), are based on the same parent compound, but differ in the nature of one of the acyl residues. This novel skeletal system is formally derived from the jatrophane framework by addition of a two-carbon fragment on C-17 (jatrophane numbering).
