Biological activities of sesquiterpene lactones
TL;DR: This review summarizes the present knowledge regarding the biological activities of sesquiterpene lactones and their structure-activity relationships and suggests their evolutionary significance in plants as deterrents against herbivores and anti-fungal, anti-bacterial allelopathic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
What made sesquiterpene lactones reach cancer clinical trials

Journal ArticleDOI
Biological activities of sesquiterpene lactones
TL;DR: A review of the present state of knowledge on the biological activities and mechanism of action of some sesquiterpene lactones highlighted in Compositae and other angiosperm families and even in some liverworts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sesquiterpenoids Lactones: Benefits to Plants and People
TL;DR: The varied ecological roles of sesquiterpenes in the plant producer, depending upon the plant and the compound are explored, including allelopathy with other plants, insects, and microbes, thereby causing behavioural or developmental modification to these secondary organisms to the benefit of the sesqiterpenoid producer.
Chemical Constituents of Hepaticae
TL;DR: It is the major object of this review to present the presently known naturally occurring terpenoids and aromatic compounds of the Hepaticae.

Allergenic Component of a Liverwort: A Sesquiterpene Lactone
TL;DR: Extraction and fractionation of Frullania tamarisci has given, as the only allergenic component isolated, a levorotatory crystalline sutbstance, the structure of which is demonstrated and is a sesquiterpene lactone.

Allergy to Frullania. Allergic contact dermatitis occurring in forest workers caused by exposure to Frullania nisquallensis.
TL;DR: Positive patch test reactions to Frullania nisquallensis were observed in seven forest workers who had allergic contact dermatitis, a genus of leafy liverworts, which results from exposure to species of epiphytes on trees.
