Acetylenic Metabolites and a 2-Phenoxychromone Derivative from the Aerial Parts of <i>Artemisia biennis</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Artemisia biennis is a weed of several crops, but some valuable biological effects have been reported from its various extracts.

Objectives

The present phytochemical study was carried out on the dichloromethane (DCM) extract of the aerial parts of A. biennis. The prominent cytotoxic and antifungal activities of this extract were previously reported.

Methods

The DCM extract was fractionated using vacuum-liquid chromatography (VLC). The selected fractions were purified by VLC and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The structures of the isolated compounds were characterized by comprehensive spectroscopic analyses.

Results

Two acetylenic metabolites [(E)-en-yn-dicycloether, (Z)-en-yn-dicycloether], and a 2-pheno
