Eudesmane sesquiterpenes from laggera alata

Identification of the components of the essential oil from wild Corsican Daucus carota L. using 13C‐NMR spectroscopy

“…16 Five compounds were identified by comparison of their 13 C-NMR spectral data with those reported in the literature: 6-epishyobunone 45, 17 shyobunone 50, 17,18 isoshyobunone 53, 18 eudesm-7(11)-en-4α-ol 66 19 and isocalamendiol 67. 20 Isocalamendiol, a bicyclo[4.4.0]decane sesquiterpene diol, isoshyobunone and 6-epishyobunone, which possess the elemane skeleton, are reported for the first time as components of the essential oil of Daucus carota (Figure 1).…”

Effect of total phenolics from Laggera alata on acute and chronic inflammation models

“…Laggera alata was given wide attention in the last few decades due to its remarkable curative effect, especially for rheumatic arthritis, faucitis, bronchitis, tonsillitis, nephritis, etc. However, most of them focused on folk use and phytochemical work (Bohlmann et al, 1985;Li et al, 1998;Raharivelomanana et al, 1998). Contrarily, no systematic bioactivity studies were carried out to the folk medicine.…”

Composition of the essential oils from three Laggera Spp. from Cameroon

“…This eudesmane-type sesquiterpene has been recently isolated and characterized from the essential oil of L. alata var. alata from Madagascar, 12 along with 7-epi -ˇ-eudesmol. The leaves of L. gracilis and the roots of L. oloptera do not contain these two new alcohols but show high amounts of -eudesmol (10.7% and 20.6%).…”
