G. Rucker et al., PEROXIDES AS PLANT CONSTITUENTS .12. DAVA NONE TYPE PEROXIDES FROM ARTEMISIA-ABROTANUM AND THEIR PREPARATION, Archiv der pharmazie, 326(8), 1993, pp. 457-460
From the aerial parts of Artemisia abrotanum L. (Asteraceae), besides
(+)-Davanone (1) and Arteincultone (2), the known peroxy-semiketals 2,
5, and 7 were isolated. In addition, the previously unknown davanone
type peroxides epi-arteincultone (4) and spiro-arteincultone (6) were
identified in A. abrotanum by TLC. By means of singlet oxygen oxidatio
n of 1, compounds 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 are formed, by triplet oxygen oxyd
ation compounds 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 as well as hydroxy-davanone.
