The aerial part of Nauplius aquaticus afforded a new sesquiterpene lactone with a humulanolide skeleton, 6,7,9,10-tetrahydroasteriscunolide (1), in addition to the known asteriscunolides A (2) and D (3). Their structures were established principally by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.

Ethanolic extracts from the roots and aerial parts of the hitherto chemically uninvestigated lettuce species Willd. (Cichorieae, Asteraceae) were chromatographically separated to obtain eight sesquiterpenoids, two apocarotenoids (loliolide and (6,9) roseoside), and three phenolic glucosides (apigenin 7--glucoside, eugenyl-4---glucopyranoside, and 5-methoxyeugenyl-4---glucopyranoside). Four of the isolated sesquiterpene lactones (8--angeloyloxyleucodin, matricarin, 15-deoxylactucin, and deacetylmatricarin 8--glucopyranoside) have not previously been found either in spp.
