9α-hydroxyparthenolide in Zoegea leptaurea subsp. mesopotamica (Czerep.) Rech. (Asteraceae)
Journal Title: Herba Polonica - Year 2015, Vol 61, Issue 2
Abstract
From the aerial parts of Zoegea leptaurea subsp. mesopotamica (Czerep.) Rech. (syn. Zoegea mesopotamica Czerep.), 9α-hydroxyparthenolide was isolated. This compound was identified by spectral methods (1H NMR and 13C NMR). This research confirmed earlier indications about the presence of 4,5-epoxygermacranolides in the Zoegea L. genus. Thus, distinctive chemistry feature of plants in this taxon has chemotaxonomic implications.
