Acid Rearrangment of Epoxy-germacranolides and Absolute Configuration of 1β,10α-Epoxy-salonitenolide
2010
The acid-catalyzed cyclization of mono epoxides of cnicin acetonide (3) was investigated. Several 6,12-eudesmanolides were obtained, and their stereochemistry established by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Chemical correlations also led to the assignment of the absolute configuration of 1β,10α-epoxy-salonitenolide (13), a previously isolated natural product. The cytotoxic activities of some compounds were determined against A549 and MCF-7 tumor cell lines. The esterified germacranolides 2–6 were selectively cytotoxic against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.
Sesquiterpene lactones from Centaurea alba and C. conifera
1995
Abstract The aerial parts of Centaurea alba yielded five know germacranolides: salonitenolide, 11β, 13-dihydrosalonitenolide, salonitenolide 8- O -(4′-acetoxy-5′-hydroxy)-angelate, cnicin 4′-O-acetate and cnicin. The aerial parts of C. conifera yielded loliolide, 1β,6α-dihydroxy-4(15)-eudesmene, chlorojanerin, chlorohyssopifolin A (centaurepensin) and its C-17 epimer. The latter compound is described for the first time.
