Wm. Daniewski et al., CONSTITUENTS OF HETERANTHEMIS-VISCIDEHIRTA SCHOTT AND THEIR ANTIFEEDANT ACTIVITY, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 69(1), 1995, pp. 103-106
A methanol extract of Heteranthemis viscidehirta gave two known sequit
erpene lactones laurenobiolide and 2alpha-hydroxylaurenobiolide. The s
tructures of these compounds were substantiated by high field H-1 and
C-13 NMR spectroscopy in comparison with the literature data. The inse
ct antifeedant activity of the methanol extract and the isolated sesqu
iterpenes has been determined.
