Two eudesmane sesquiterpene lactones, wedetrilides B (1) and C (2), along with five known analogues (3 - 8), an ent-kaurane diterpenoid (9), a steroid (10), as well as cinnamic acid derivatives (11 - 13), were isolated from the flowers of Wedelia trilobata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses and by comparison of their NMR data with those of related compounds. Furthermore, the structures of 1 and 3 - 5 were confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analyses. Compounds 4 and 5 exhibited weak cytotoxic activities against the MCF-7, HeLa, and A549 cell lines. Compounds 3 - 5 were also evaluated for their inhibitory effects against HIV lytic replication.

Currently available therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with a high morbidity and high mortality, are only marginally effective and with sharp adverse side effects, which makes it compulsory to explore novel and more effective anticancer molecules. Chinese medicinal herbs exhibited prominent anticancer effects and were applied to supplement clinical cancer treatment. Here, we reported a compound, trilobolide-6-O-isobutyrate (TBB), isolated from the flowers of Wedelia trilobata with a markedly cytotoxic effect on HCC cells.

(3α)-3-(tiglinoyloxy)-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (WT-26) is an ent-kaurane dieterpenoid extracted from Wedelia trilobata L., a widely cultivated ornamental plant with several scientific reports supporting its anti-inflammatory activity. WT-26 has better anti-inflammatory activity than its analog Kaurenoic acid (ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid).

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), synthesized by green methods with the property to kill microbes, are highly valuable in medical sciences. So, the current study was aimed at using the flower extract of Wedelia urticifolia for synthesizing AgNPs with antibacterial properties. The AgNPs were produced by adding the extract to three different AgNO concentrations (1, 10, and 100 mM) in nine possible flower extract to metal salt ratios (9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6, 3:7, 2:8, and 1:9).
