eudesmanolide/artemisia

The reinvestigation of aerial parts of A. HERBA-ALBA subsp. VALENTINA afforded four new eudesmanolides, all of them closely related to torrentin. Their structures were deduced by spectroscopic and chemical methods.

The phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of ARTEMISIA ARGYI afforded beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, alpha-amyrin, beta-amyrin, friedelin, naringenin, quercetin, and four eudesmane derivatives, two of which were new eudesmanolides. The structures of the novel compounds were elucidated by

The reinvestigation of the aerial parts of ARTEMISIA SANTONICUM afforded, in addition to three known eudesmanolides, six new ones, all closely related to taurin. The structures were elucidated by high-field NMR spectroscopy.

The Alpine wormwood Artemisia vallesiaca All. was considered the most valuable ingredient of vermouth, a celebrated aromatized wine. A. vallesiaca has a very limited geographical distribution, and the booming market of vermouth decimated its natural population, resulting in the eventual replacement

Plant tissue culture is used to grow plant cells, tissues, or organs under sterile and determined conditions on culture media. It is alternative to traditional vegetative propagation, and is applied as an effective technology for the production of valuable secondary metabolites. The Artemisia
