Abstract:
A new sesquiterpenoid, namely vernocinolide A, as well as ten known ones, were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the Vernoniacinerea. The structure of vernocinolide A was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Among the known sesquiterpenoids, nine of them were isolated from this plant for the first time.
