Actualities on the phytochemical research of selected terpenes

A short review of our recent research on the essential oils phytochemical composition of Petasites albus (L.) Gaertn. and Petasites hybridus (L.) G.Gaertn., B.Mey. & Scherb. (Asteraceae) as well as on the oils of Globularia cordifolia L., Globularia meridionalis (Podp.) O.Schwarz and Globularia punctata Lapeyr. (Plantaginaceae) is presented. All of the essential oils contained a variety of oxygenated sesquiterpenes among major constituents including a bakkane type sesquiterpene fukinanolid (bakkenolide A). The paper is focused on: a) short overview of the major terpenes abundance in the essential oils of Petasites and Globularia species from Croatia ; b) possible biosynthetic pathways of major identified sesquiterpenes ; and c) biological activities (literature data) of major sesquiterpenes from Petasites and Globularia species.

Petasites species, Globularia species, oxygenated sesquiterpenes, bisabola-2, 10-diene-1-one, fukinanolid (bakkenolide A), dehydrofukinone
