Calea urticifolia (Mill.) DC. (Compositae) is a medicinal plant found in El Salvador. Calea is used in folkloric medicine as a psychoactive principle with calming effect, as well as in the treatment of diarrhea and fever. Three undescribed bisabolenes, named caleanolenes A-C, as well as, three known sesquiterpene lactones 2,3-epoxyjuanislamin, calealactone B, calein C, and the flavonoid acacetin, were isolated from the chloroform extract of the leaves of C. urticifolia. The chemical structures of the isolated compounds were determined on the basis of HRMS, IR, CD, and from 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies. The absolute configurations of the caleanolenes have been partly established using GIAO NMR and ECD calculations. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against the CA46 and Raji lymphoma, and the MCF7 breast cancer cell lines, with 2,3-epoxyjuanislamin showing the best activity in all cell lines (IC value range 2.9-12.3 μM).

Six pairs of previously undescribed enantiomeric phytocannabinoid-like meroterpenoids, (±)-spinulinoids A‒F, and two naturally occurring compounds, (+)-rhododaurichromanic acid A and (E)-4-((3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dien-1-yl)oxy)benzoic acid, together with one known congener, (-)-rhododaurichromanic acid A, were obtained from the twigs and leaves of Rhododendron spinuliferum. Their structures were established by their extensive spectral data (NMR and HRESIMS), ECD calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Spinulinoids A and B are unprecedented phytocannabinoid-like meroterpenoids constructed by the resorcinol moiety and a β-bisabolene unit, whereas spinulinoid C represents a rare adduct of quinone and β-bisabolene with a tricyclic 6/6/6 ring system.

Uniseriate linear glandular trichomes occur on stems, leaves and flowering parts of Helianthus species and related taxa. Their metabolic activity and biological function are still poorly understood. A phytochemical study documented the accumulation of bisabolene type sesquiterpenes and flavonoids as the major constituents of the non-volatile metabolome of linear glandular trichomes in the common sunflower, Helianthus annuus.
