The Antiinflammatory Sesquiterpene Lactone

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Aromaticine, a sesquiterpene lactone from Amblyopappus pusillus

AROMATICINE (SYSTEMATIC NAME: 4a,8-dimethyl-3-methyl-ene-3,3a,4,4a,7a,8,9,9a-octa-hydro-azuleno[6,5-b]furan-2,5-dione), C(15)H(18)O(3), is a natural lactone isolated from Amblyopappus pusillus. The mol-ecular structure and conformation agree with the results of Romo, Joseph-Nathan & Díaz [(1964 ▶). Tetra-hedron, 20, 79-85]. The fused-ring system contains a seven-membered ring in a twist-boat co...

Cynaratriol, a sesquiterpene lactone from Centaurea musimomum

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 3,8-dihydr-oxy-3-(hydroxy-meth-yl)-9-methyl-6-methyl-enedeca-hydro-azuleno[4,5-b]furan-2(3H)-one], C(15)H(22)O(5), is a sesquiterpene lactone showing the typical tricyclic guaianolide skeleton which has been isolated, together with other related metabolites, from the plant Centaurea musimomum. The present study confirms the mol-ecular structure, assigned by ...

Dehydro­leucodin: a guaiane-type sesquiterpene lactone

Dehydro-leucodin [systematic name: (1S,6S,2R)-9,13-dimeth-yl-5-methyl-ene-3-oxatricyclo-[8.3.0.0(2,6)]trideca-9,12-diene-4,11-dione], C(15)H(16)O(3), is a guanolide isolated from Artemisia douglasiana. The fused-ring system contains a seven-membered ring that adopts a chair conformation, a fused planar cyclo-pentenone ring and a five-membered lactone ring fused in envelope conformation. The abs...
