[3,5], 3-dehyd ocyna opic in 2, g oshei nin 3 [3,6-10], cyna olyde [11] and
cyna o iol 4 [12]. Mo eo e , so ne analy ical p ocedu es o he quan i a i e

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In he cou se o ou s udies on he I alian lo a [14-17] we ha e now isola ed o n
he lea es o Cyna a scolymus L. h ee new guaianolides, iden i ed as 11-H -13-
me hylsul onylg oshei nin 5 in he ne hanol ex ac , 8-deoxy-11-hyd oxy-13-
chlo og oshei nin 8 and 8-deoxy-11, 13-dihyd oxyg oshei nin 7 in he chlo o o n

ex ac o The known 8-epig osheimin 9, p e iously ob ained om C epis i ens
[17], was also isola ed and cha ac e ized.
Compound 5, name1y G osul eimin, is o be conside ed an unusual na u al
p oduc , being known in he li e a u e he sole case oí he isola ion o he
me hylsul onylguaianolide Sul e alin om Helenium au umnale [18,19].
The s uc u es o 5,7 and 8 we e de e mined on he basis o hei elemen al
analysis, IR, MS, lH-NMR (200 MHz) and 13C-NMR (50.32 MHz) spec a.
These we e con mned, o g osul eimin 5, by chemical co ela ion wi h
g osheimin 3 ia ll-H-3-me hylsul ideg osheimin 6 (see scheme) and, o he
compounds 7 and 8, by spec oscopical da a o hei pa en compounds ob ained
by ace yla ion (7a, 8a) and by ace onyla ion (7b) (see ables 1 and 2).
Iden i ica ion o 9 was achie ed by di ec compa ison o an au hen ical
sample o 8-epig osheimin om C epis i ens [17].
Repea ed ch oma og aphic sepa a ions o he CHC13-soluble ex ac (29.8
g) and o he MeOH-soluble ex ac (10.8 g) om he lea es o Cyna a scolymus
L. we e ca ied ou on silica gel columns by means o no mal andlo lash
ch oma og aphy echniques using he eluen s: CHC13 ---> CHC13/MeOH=70/30,
and moni o ing by TLC (silica gel pIa es), eluen s: CHC13/MeOH=95/5 --->
