By bioassay directed fractionation, four sesquiterpenoids 1-4 were isolated as antimicrobial agents from the dried flowers of Heterotheca inuloides, a Mexican medicinal plant locally known as 'arnica'. 7-Hydroxy- 3,4-dihydrocadalin (3) and 7-hydroxycadalin (4) exhibited potent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranging from 6.25 to 12.5 μg/ml. Notably, 7-hydroxy- 3,4-dihydrocadalin showed bactericidal activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of 12.5 μg/ml.

Starting with an acetophenone derivative three sesquiterpenes, xanthorrhizol, hydroxycadalene and hydroxycalamenene were synthesized.The biomimetic formation of parvifolin could not be achieved.

The total synthesis of lacinilene C methyl ether has been accomplished in ten steps with an overall, optimal yield of 38percent by starting with o-methylanisole.Formation of the key α-aryl-α-ketol functionality, which is particularly sensitive to oxidation, was accomplished by stepwise oxidation reactions based on the use of N-methylmorpholine N-oxide/osmium tetraoxide acting on alkene and trimethylsilyl enol ether functionality.Other oxidations could be accomplished by using dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone to generate unsaturation adjacent to the α-ketol group or to form substituted naphtalenes.These reactions permitted adjustment of the oxidation level and oxygenation pattern of the key intermediate, 7-methoxy-α-calacorene (3,4-dihydro-4-isopropyl-7-methoxy-1,6-dimethylnaphthalene), to accomplish the synthesis of 2-hydroxy-7-methoxycadalene, 2,7-dihydroxycadalene, 7-methoxycadalene, and 7-hydroxycadalene, in addition to lacinilene C and its methyl ether.
