Sterols and a glycoside from the flowers of Inula grantioides.
The flowers of Inula grantioides were analysed for their sterol composition. Chromatographic separation of the acetone extract of the plant material resulted in the isolation of beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol and beta-sitosteryl. 11-Hentriacontene, pentariacontene and a saturated hydrocarbon, pentatriacontane, were also obtained for the first time from the flowers of the plant.
