A total of thirteen sesquiterpenoids with diverse skeletons including four new sesquiterpenoids, glandulosines A - D (1-4), a new natural product, glandulosine E (5), and eight known sesquiterpene lactones (6-13) were isolated from the roots of Cichorium glandulosum Boiss. et Huet (Asteraceae).
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
