[Peroxides as plant constituents. 6. Hydroperoxides from the blossoms of Roman camomile, Anthemis nobilis L].

From the ethanol extract of the blossoms of Anthemis nobilis L. (syn. Chamaemelum nobile L.), six new hydroperoxides (1-6) were isolated, besides the known 1 beta-hydroperoxyisonobilin (7). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods and in some cases ascertained by synthesis. Compounds 2 and 3 show a medium antibacterial activity.
