Abstract
As a part of our interest in biologically active germacranolides from the genusCarpesium (Compositae), we have investigated the constituents ofCarpesium cernuum. This paper reports the isolation and structural elucidation of a new germacranolide, cernolide A (Compound 1), from the herb. The structure of Compound 1 was determined as 2α,3β-dihydroxy-9-angeloxygermacra-4-en-6,12-olide on the basis of spectral evidence. The skeleton of Compound 1 was elucidation by IR, MS,1H and13CNMR, COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. The stereochemistry of Compound 1 was deduced by ROESY spectral data. Finally, the procedures of extraction and isolation were described in detail.
