Two new compounds, the sesquiterpene (1E,5E)-8β-acetoxy-4α- hydroxy-7βH-germacra-1(10),5-dien-14-oic acid (2), and a nor-sesquiterpene, (5E)-8β-acetoxy-4α-hydroxy-7βH-germacr-5-en-10-one (3), were isolated from Pulicaria canariensis ssp. lanata, along with ten known compounds, including the flavonoid 5,3′-dihydroxy-3,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone (4). From Pulicaria burchardii, we isolated seven known compounds; the physical and spectroscopic data of the triterpenoid 3β-hydroxytaraxaster-20-en-30-al (1) are reported. The structures of compounds 1-3 were determined on the basis of HR-MS, and 1D- and 2D-NMR studies. The structure of 2 was corroborated by X-ray crystal diffraction. Cell viability experiments revealed that the semisynthetic flavonoid 4b was the most cytotoxic compound against human leukemia cells, and the cytotoxicity was caused by induction of apoptosis, as determined by microscopy of nuclear changes.

Key Word Index - Psiadia trinervia; Compositae; flavonoids; antifungal; antibacterial; Cladosporium cucumerinum; Bacillus cereus; bioautography.Abstract - From a dichloromethane extract and a hydrolysed methanolic extract from the leaves of Psiadia trinervia, 13 3-methylated flavonol have beeen isolated.Their structures were established by the usual spectoscopic methods (UV, EIMS, 1H and 13CNMR).Ayanin, casticin, chrysosplenol-D and 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone were responsible for the antifungal activity found in the preliminary screening.Chrysosplenol-D, isokaemferide, 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,3'-dimethoxyflavone and 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyflavone displayed antibacterial activity.Twenty-nine derivatives were prepared by permethylation and selective methylation of the free hydroxyl group at C-5.The antimicrobial activities of the isolates and derivatives were determined by bioautographic assays using C. cucumerinum and B. cereus as test organisms.
