A heme-binding assay based on mass spectrometry was performed on P. monodiana Maire (Asteraceae) extracts to identify metabolites able to form adducts with heminic part of haemoglobin, as potential antimalarial drugs. Main adducts were characterized and their stability was measured. Isolation of main constituents of P. monodiana Maire lead to identification of the two methoxyflavones 3'-O-methyleupatorin (7) and artemetin (8) involved in the adducts formation. Four seco-tanapartholides (1-4), a guaianolide (5), a germacranolide (6) and two other methoxyflavones (9, 10) were also characterized. Evaluation of isolated compounds on P. falciparum and T. brucei brucei showed a moderate antiprotozoal activity of the two methoxyflavones.

Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Maire led to the isolation and identification of one sesquiterpene lactone glucoside of the guaianolide type (dihydropseudoivalin-4---d-glucopyranoside), along with nine known compounds including one diterpenoid, two sesquiterpenoids, three lignanes and three flavonoids. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. All these compounds were evaluated for their DPPH radical scavenging and tyrosinase inhibitory activities.
