Abstract

Aerial parts of species Inula aschersoniana JANKA var. aschersoniana have been shown to contain parthenolide (I), costunolide diepoxide (III) and the hitherto undescribed inusoniolide (IV) whose structure, including the absolute configuration, was determined using 1H NMR and CD spectroscopy.
