Jn. Bazon et al., CADINANOLIDES AND OTHER CONSTITUENTS FROM VERNONIA-FRUTICULOSA AND VERNONANTHURA DISCOLOR, Phytochemistry, 44(8), 1997, pp. 1535-1536
Aerial parts of Vernonia fruticulosa furnished a large amount of glauc
olide B, two known and one new cadinanolide as well as three known fla
vonoids. The silica gel catalysed rearrangement of glaucolide B to one
of the cadinanolides supports the proposal that cadinanolides isolate
d from Vernoniinae may be artefacts derived from glaucolide type precu
rsors. Aerial parts of Vernonanthura discolor afforded friedelanol, fr
iedelin and beta-sitosterol. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
