چکیده
A new γ-lactone named maroccanin (1) together with 5 known compounds : scopoletin (2); 8α-[2’hydroxymethyl-2’-butenoyloxy]-dehydromelitensin (3); 11,13-dehydromelitensin (4); 8α-[2’-hydroxymethyl-2’butenoyloxy]-sonchucarpolide (5) and 5Hα,6Hβ,7Hα,-15-hydroxy-8α-(1’,2’-dihydroxyethyl-acryloxy)-elema1(2),3(4),11(13)-trien-6,12-olide (6), were isolated from the chloroform soluble part of the aqueous-MeOH extract of the flowering aerial parts of C. maroccana Ball. (Asteraceae), an endemic species of the North of the Sahara. The structures were established by chemical and spectral analysis, mainly HR-ESIMS, HREIMS,UV and NMR experiments (COSY, NOESY, HSQC and HMBC). The compounds 3 and 5 are new for the genus Centaurea.

BACKGROUND Anti-inflammatory activities of medicinal plants have largely been attributed to their content of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs). SLs are predominantly found in the sunflower family Asteraceae and have been isolated from many plants of this family, particularly Centaurea. The anti-inflammatory activities of extract of Centaurea ainetensis, a Lebanese endemic plant, and the isolated act...

Achene morphology of 49 taxa of the genus Centaurea L. was studied in terms of 19 different characteristics. On the basis of the variation in these features, some sections, such as sect. Cyanus with hairy hilum, were separated. Despite various differences, C. leuzeoides and C. gilanica were categorized in the section Psephelloideae, a section with lots of character variations within its species...
