A New Eudesmane Derivative from Leontodon tuberosus

Abstract

Abstract Besides the known compounds 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone 4-O-β -D-glucopyranoside and syringaresinol 4’-O-β -D-glucopyranoside, the novel sesquiterpenoid 1,2-dehydro-3-oxocostic acid β - D-glucopyranoside ester was isolated from Leontodon tuberosus L. and its structure established by mass spectrometry and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, a number of fatty and phenolic acids was identified in the crude methanolic extract by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS. The chemosystematic impact of the new sesquiterpenoid is discussed briefly.
