Plant metabolite profiling reveals the diversity of secondary or specialized metabolites in the plant kingdom with its hundreds of thousands of species. Specialized plant metabolites constitute a vast class of chemicals posing significant challenges in analytical chemistry. In order to be of maximum scientific relevance, reports dealing with these ...

Seven previously undescribed sesquiterpene lactones, three known sesquiterpene lactones (ixerin D, 15-p-hydroxyphenylacetyllactucin, and 15-p-hydroxyphenylacetyllactucin-8-sulfate), and two known quinic acid derivatives (3-O-feruloylquinic acid and 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid) were isolated from Sonchus palustris L. roots. Four formerly undescribe...

Ten years after the first overview on sesquiterpene lactones in the Cichorieae tribe of the Asteraceae family, we present an update. This review summarizes all chemosystematically relevant reports on sesquiterpene lactones and their immediate precursors from the Cichorieae (syn.: Lactuceae) tribe of the Asteraceae published between 2008 and 2017 an...
