Abstract
Four guaia-12,6-olide type sesquiterpene lactones, aguerin B (1), 8α-acetoxyzaluzanin C (2), cynaropicrin (3), and deacylcynaropicrin (4), were isolated from the flowers ofHemisteptia lyrata Bunge. It is the first report on the isolation of compounds1-4 from Hemisteptia species. All the isolates (1-4) were examined for their cytotoxic activity against SK-OV-3, LOX-IMVI, A549, MCF-7, PC-3, and HCT-15 human cancer cell lines.
