title: Guaiane dimers and germacranolide from Artemisia caruifolia.
abstract: One new germacranolide (named caruifolin A) and three new guaiane dimers (caruifolins B-D), together with six known compounds, were isolated from the aerial parts of Artemisia caruifolia. The structures were determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods.
