The new sesquiterpene (1R,2R,3R,6R,7S)-1-acetoxy-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolene (3) together with ten known terpenes and three known flavonoids were isolated from the aerial parts and from the roots of Stevia tomentosa. The structure of 3 follows from spectral studies, the relative chirality at C-3 follows from 1H NMR coupling constants comparison with the corresponding calculated values obtained by applying a generalized Karplus-type relationship to the dihedral angles of model compounds, and the absolute configuration is assumed in analogy to known (2R,3R,6R,7S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrobisabolen-1-one (2).

Background: The objective of this in vivo study is to evaluate in five rat models the pharmacologic effects and toxicity of a commercial hydro-alcoholic extract, GlucoMedix®, derived from Stevia rebaudiana and the pentacyclic chemotype of Uncaria Tomentosa (Willd.) DC, for use as a treatment for metabolic syndrome. The extract contains phytochemicals of Stevia (e.

Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the US and Europe. Although the current recommended Lyme antibiotic treatment is effective for the majority of Lyme disease patients, about 10-20% of patients continue to suffer from persisting symptoms. There have been various anecdotal reports on the use of herbal extracts for treating patients with persisting symptoms with varying degree of improvements.

Dihydropsuedoivalin (1) was isolated from Stevia tomentosa, which, when treated with base, afforded epidihydropseudoivalin (2). The stereochemistry of 1 and 2 was established by crystallographic X-ray studies of the two derivatives of epidihydropseudoivalin. Treatment of 1 and 2 with Jones's reagent afforded the xanthanolides 3 and 4, respectively.
