Three norisoprenoids (2, 4 and 5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Cirsium rhinoceros (Compositae) together with three flavonoids, pectolinarigenin (1), apigenin (3) and cirsimaritin (6). The structures of norisoprenoids were identified as dehydrovomifoliol (2), (+)-loliolide (4) and (-)-epiloliolide (5) on the basis of physico-chemical and spectral evidences. These norisoprenoids were first repoted from Cirsium species.

From Sargassum thunbergii which is widely distributed in coastal area of Korea, three norisoprenoids, (+)-epiloliolide (1), (-)-loliolide (2), and apo-9'-fucoxanthinone (3) were isolated by using column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. Compound 1, 2 and 3 were for the first time isolated from the Brown Alga Sargassum thunbergii. Particularly, Compound 1 was for the first time isolated the marine organism although it was reported from the terrestrial plant. Their structures have been determined by extensive 2-D NMR experiments such as $^1H COSY, NOESY, HMQC$, and HMBC and by comparison with the reported data in the literature.
