Centaurothamnus maximus (family Asteraceae), is a leafy shrub indigenous to the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. With a paucity of phytochemical data on this species, we set out to chemically characterize the plant. From the aerial parts, two newly identified guaianolides were isolated: 3β-hydroxy-4α(acetoxy)-4β(hydroxymethyl)-8α-(4-hydroxy methacrylate)-1αH,5αH, 6αH-gual-10(14),11(13)-dien-6,12-olide (1) and 15-descarboxy picrolide A (2). Seven previously reported compounds were also isolated: 3β, 4α, 8α-trihydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-lαH, 5αH, 6βH, 7αH-guai-10(14),11(13)-dien-6,12-olide (3), chlorohyssopifolin B (4), cynaropikrin (5), hydroxyjanerin (6), chlorojanerin (7), isorhamnetin (8), and quercetagetin-3,6-dimethyl ether-4’-O-β-d-pyranoglucoside (9). Chemical structures were elucidated using spectroscopic techniques, including High Resolution Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry (HR-FAB-MS), 1D NMR; 1H, 13C NMR, Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer (DEPT), and 2D NMR (1H-1H COSY, HMQC, HMBC) analyses. In addition, a biosynthetic pathway for compounds 1–9 is proposed. The chemotaxonomic significance of the reported sesquiterpenoids and flavonoids considering reports from other Centaurea species is examined.

Abstract Agricultural surface water samples were collected after the first 2 major runoff events in 1994 for determination of atrazine (ATR, 2-chloro-4-ethylamino-6-isopropylamino-s-triazine) and hydroxyatrazine (HA, 2-ethylamino-4-hydroxy-6-isopropylamino-striazine). After addition of. 13C3-labeled ATR and 13C3-labeled HA as internal standards, the chemicals were quantitatively extracted and eluted from water samples by liquid-solid extraction with a carbon black cartridge. Liquid chromatography and fast atom bombardment-high resolution mass spectrometry were used to analyze the sample extracts. Concentrations of ATR ranged from 8.2 to 15.1 parts per billion (ppb) in the samples collected after both runoff events from a highly agricultural watershed in south-central Nebraska. HA concentrations ranged from 0.25 to 2.7 ppb in the water samples. Results obtained from both analytical procedures agreed within a 15% deviation. As predicted from runoff events, the highest levels occurred in samples from the first collection on June 24,1994, for both ATR and HA, whereas samples collected on July 5,1994, contained much lower levels of HA.
