Cynaropicrin is found in artichoke (Cynara scolymus) and is the source of its bitter taste and it is a sesquiterpene lactone with a 5-7-5 tricyclic skeleton, six chiral centers, and fourexo-olefins. This natural product has numerous attractive biological activities including the inhibition of NF-κB activation, antihepatitis C activity, and antitrypanosomal activity. In this study, the first total synthesis of cynaropicrin was achieved starting from (S)-α-pinene. The synthesis involved a stereoselective Favorskii rearrangement and an indium-promoted diastereoselective Barbier reaction.

Five known guaianolides were isolated from the areal part of Saussurea lipshitzii (Asteraceae) collected in South Gobi, Mongolia: cynaropicrin (I), janerin (II), chlorojanerin (III), 15-deschloro-15-acetoxychlorojanerin (IV), and 15-deschloro-15-hydroxychlorojanerin (V).The correlation between I-V and the β-configuration of the C-4/C-15 bond in II-V was shown by biomimetic chemical transformations, suggesting compound I as the possible common precursor.
