Abstract
Three germacranolide sesquitepene lactones (argophyllin-A and -B and eupatolide), three diterpenoids (ciliaric acid, (−)-16-α-hydroxy-kaur-11-en-19-oic acid and (−)-16-α-hydroxykaurane) and one flavonoid (nevadensin) were isolated and characterized from a chloroform extract of Helianthus argophyllus. Argophyllin-A and -B are both described here for the first time. Their structures were deduced by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Argophyllin-A and -B were found to show anti-auxin effects while eupatolide exhibited weak insecticidal activity.
