Investigation of the essential oil of the aerial parts of Eryngium maritimum L. from Corsica led to the isolation of one known sesquiterpene (1) and three new oxygenated sesquiterpenes with a muurolane or cadinane skeleton (2-4). Structure assignments of 4 βH -muurol-9-en-15-al (1), 4 βH -cadin-9-en-15-al (2), 4 βH -muurol-9-en-15-ol (3) and 4 βH -cadin-9-en-15-ol (4) were carried out by GC/MS (EI and CI) and comprehensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity of Eryngium maritimum L. oil and column chromatography fractions have been investigated for the first time. The oxygenated fraction, which contains the four sesquiterpenes, was efficient against Listeria monocytogenes and Echerichia coli.

Three species from the L. genus-, , and , plants with a rich chemical composition, were selected for phytochemical and biological studies. The applied biotechnological methods allowed to obtain the biomass of these rare or protected species in the form of multiplied shoots (stationary system) and roots cultured in a liquid medium (agitated system).
