  • Two new compounds, a stigmasterol (1) and an eremophilenolide (2), were successfully isolated.
  • Ten known sesquiterpenoids, two known triterpenes, and five known sterols were also identified.
  • Bakkenolide A (3) showed effective antitumor activity against human leukemia (HL-60), hepatoma (Bel-7402), and ovarian neoplasm (HO-8910) cells.

Conclusions:

  • The study successfully identified novel chemical entities from Ligularia dolichobotrys.
  • Bakkenolide A exhibits promising cytotoxic effects, warranting further investigation for cancer therapy.
