Publication date: April 2020Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, Volume 89Author(s): Ana Lidia Pérez-Castorena, Antonio Nieto-Camacho, Emma MaldonadoAbstractA chemical study of the aerial parts of Stevia jorullensis was carried out as a contribution to the knowledge of the chemistry of the genus Stevia. In this investigation the sesquiterpene lactones 11β,13-dihydrocostunolide (1), 11,13-dihydroreynosin (4), and 1β-hydroxycolartin (5) were isolated for the first time in the genus. Additionally, chlorogenic acid (8), the steroidal compounds β-sitosterol (2), stigmasterol (3), β-sitosteryl glucopyranoside (6), and stigmasteryl glucopyranoside (7) were also isolated. This is the third report of the presence of a 11,13-dihydrogermacranolide and the second of 11,13-dihydroeudesmanolides in the genus Stevia.
