Abstract

Eleven new highly oxygenated germacrane-type sesquiterpenoids (1-11) and 16 known analogues (12-27) were isolated from the aerial parts of Sigesbeckia orientalis. Their structures, including absolute configurations, were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic methods especially NMR and ECD analyses. Compounds 13, 21 and 23 possessing an 8-methacryloxy group showed stronger in vitro cytotoxicity against human A549 and MDA-MB-231 Cancer cell lines than Other co-metabolites, with IC50 values ranging from 6.02 to 10.77 μM comparable to the positive control adriamycin.
