Complete NMR spectral assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides from Picris conyzoides

Complete (1)H and (13)C NMR signal assignments of two lactucin-type sesquiterpene lactone glycosides, derivatives of 11 beta, 13-dihydrolactucin, isolated from roots of Picris conyzoides, were achieved by one- and two-dimensional NMR experiments, allowing the correction of previously published data for cichorioside B and the structure elucidation of its new ester with 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid. In addition, seven known sesquiterpene lactones and three phenolic compounds were isolated from the plant material. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
