Abstract:
Vernonione, a new 7-deoxycarvotacetone derivative 1, together with three known sesquiterpene lactones; vernolide A, C (2,3) and potamopholide (4) has been isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots of Vernonia cinerascens. The structure 3ß-acetoxy-5a-angeloyloxy- 7-deoxycarvotacetone was established by using UV, IR, 1H and 13C-NMR spectra (DEPT), 2D-NMR analyses (COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments) in combination with HRFAB-MS, HREI-MS experiments and in comparison with literature data of related compounds. Compound 1 showed inhibitory potential against enzyme urease in concentration dependant fashion with IC50 value 227.6 µmol.
