| Abstract: | Saussurea heteromalla (D. Don) Hand.-Mazz. (Asteraceae), a Himalayan herb, has been
investigated phytochemically for the first time in detail and the plant is
being reported here as a new source of two lignans, i.e. arctigenin and its glycoside arctiin, and one sequiterpene
lactone, the chlorojanerin. The structures of these compounds, determined by UV
spectra, LC-MS, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy are discussed.
These compounds have been found pharmacologically important; arctigenin and
arctiin are known to have anti-inflammatory activity and chlorjanerin has been
investigated for the anti-ulcer and anti-viral properties. |
