title: One new sesquiterpene from Saussurea laniceps.
abstract: One new guaiane-type sesquiterpene (1) was isolated from Saussurea laniceps. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis. The immunomodulatory activity of compound 1 was evaluated. It was found that compound 1 showed significant inhibition for proliferation of murine T cells in vitro.
