Abstract
A new guaiane-type sesquiterpene, prenanthelide A (1), and three new guaiane-type sesquiterpene glycosides, prenanthesides A (3), B (4) and C (7), have been isolated from Prenanthes acerifolia BENTH., together with three known guaiane-type sesquiterpene glycosides, ixerin D (2), 8-epidesacylcynaropicrin glucoside (5) and crepiside E (6). The structures of the new compounds were established on the basis of chemical and spectral data.
