Guaianolides and lignans from the aerial parts of Centaurea ptosimopappa.

The genus Centaurea L. (Asteraceae, tribe Cardueae, subtribe Centaureinae) comprises ca. 600 species distributed in Asia, Europa, North Africa and America (Hickey and King, 1981; Heywood, 1979). Turkish flora numbers 187 species, 114 of which being endemic (Davis, 1975; Davis et al., 1988; Wagenitz et al., 1988; Guner et al., 2000; Duran and Duman, 2000; Turkoglu et al., 2003). Centaurea ptosimopappa Hayek is an endemic species distributed in the Mediterranean and South-Eastern Anatolian regions of Turkey; widespread and locally frequent in the Amanos and Casus mountains (Davis, 1975; Reeves and Adiguzel, 2004). Aerial parts of C. ptosimopappa were collected in Hatay, the Amanos Mountain ab…

Flavonoids from Teucrium fruticans L.

From aerial parts of <em>Teucrium fncticans</em> L. three flavonoids were isolated and identified as 5-hydroxy-6, 7, 3', 4'-tetramethoxyflavone, 5, 4'-dihydroxy-6, 7, 3'-trimethoxyflavone (cirsilineol) and 5, 4'-dihydroxy-6, 7-dimethoxyflavone (cirsimaritin). The former compound was found to be a predominant flavone aglycone constituent of the plant material. This is the first report on the isolation of flavonoids from the plant.

Phenylethanoid glycosides from Prostanthera melissifolia

Abstract Six phenylethanoid glycosides were isolated from aerial parts of Prostanthera melissifolia, together with apigenin and ursolic acid. The glycosides were characterized by spectral methods as martynoside, isomartynoside, verbascoside, isoverbascoside, betonyoside F and isobetonyoside F, the latter being a new natural product.
