Abstract

Five sesquiterpene lactones, 8-acetylarteminolide ( 1), artanomaloide ( 2), arteminones ( 3 and 4), and dehydromatricarin ( 5), were isolated from the methanolic extract of the flower of Artemisia sylvatica and characterized on the basis of their spectral data. New sesquiterpene lactone 1 was identified as a configurational isomer of artanomaloide ( 2), and the new arteminones 3 and 4 are determined as stereoisomers. 8-Acetylarteminolide ( 1) strongly inhibited FPTase with an IC 50 of 1.8 μM, however, the other sesquiterpene lactones mildly inhibited the transferase with an IC 50 of 22–300 μM.
