A re-investigation of subaerial parts of Leontodon cichoraceus (Ten.) Sangu
in. yielded the new germacrane-type sesquiterpenoid 15-beta -D-glucopyranos
yl-8[p-(beta -D-glucopyranosyloxy)phenylacetyl]-salonitenolide. The structu
re was established by APCI mass spectrometry and 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscop
y. A survey by HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS gave no signs of this compound in 23 ot
her taxa of Leontodon.
