Abstract

Two new sesquiterpenoids belonging to the guaiane, 4α,9α,10α-trihydroxyguaia- 11(13)en-12,6α-olide (1), and germacrane, 9β-hydroxyparthenolide-9-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2), classes have been isolated fromthe leaves of the Saudi medicinal plant Anvillea garcinii along with seven known compounds (3-9). The structures of the new metabolites were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis, including one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESIMS). The antimicrobial properties of 1-9 were screened against seven different pathogenic microbes, and compounds 1-3 showed a potent antifungal activity.
