The leaves and flowers of Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge (Compositae) have been used for cure sour throat and treat tumors in traditional chinese medicine. As a result of the chemical investigation, two compounds were isolated from the $CHCl_3$ extract of the flowers of H. lyrata. On the basis of spectroscopic experiments, their structures were identified as 8-hydroxy-3-keto-10(14)-guaien-12,6-oxide (Isoamberboin) and 3,8-dihydroxy-4(15),10(14),11(13)-guaiatrien-12,6-oxide (8-Hydroxyzaluzanin C). They were first isolated from the genus Hemisteptia.

Three diene-yn-diene chromophore type compounds were isolated from the flowers of Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge. On the basis of spectral data, isolated compounds were identified as heptadeca-1,7,9,13,15-pentaen-11-yne, 14-acetoxy-2,4,8,10-tetradecatetra-ene-6-yne and 14-hydroxy-2,4,8,10-tetradecatetraene-6-yn. They were first isolated from the genus of Hemisteptia.

The flowers of Hemisteptia lyrata B. afforded two known acylglycerylgalactosides, 2',3'-di-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)glyceryl ${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (1) and 2'-O-(9Z,12Z,15Z-octadecatrienoyl)glyceryl ${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (2), and a new sesquiterpene galactopyranoside, 7-eudesmene-1${\beta}$,4${\beta}$-diol-1-O-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside (3). This is the first time that galactopyranosides (1-3) have been isolated from the genus Hemisteptia. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR data, including COSY, NOESY and HMBC experiments.

Nine sesquiterpene lactones, which were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge. Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura and Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were evaluated for the farnesyl-protein transferase (FPTase) inhibitor, conducted by the scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The angeloylcumambrin B and tigloylcumambrin B inhibited a recombinant rat FPTase with $IC_{50}$ value of $78\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(225\;{\mu}M)$ and $90\;{\mu}g/ml$ $(260 \;{\mu}M)$, respectively.

Nine sesquiterpene lactones, which were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge, Chrysanthemum zawadskii Herbich var. latilobum Kitamura and Chrysanthemum boreale Makino were evaluated for the inhibition upon the nitric oxide release from the Raw cell and for the ACAT (acyl Co A: cholesterol acyltransferase) inhibitory assay. In the nitric oxide release inhibitory experiment, hemistepsin B $(IC_{50}\;=\;0.05\;{\mu}g/ml,\;0.15\;{\mu}M),$ cumambrin B, tulipinolide and costunolide exhibited strong inhibition with $IC_{50}$ values $0.05\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.15\;{\mu}M),\;0.1\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.38\;{\mu}M),\;0.2\;{\mu}g/ml\;(0.69\;{\mu}M)$ and $0.2\;{\mu}g/ml(0.86\;{\mu}M),$ respectively. In the ACAT inhibitory assay, angeloylcumambrin B, tigloylcumambrin B, tulipinolide and costunolide exhibited strong inhibition with $IC_{50}$ values $33\;{\mu}g/ml\;(95.4\;{\mu}M),\;22\;{\mu}g/ml\;(63.6\;{\mu}M),\;38\;{\mu}g/ml\;(151\;{\mu}M)$ and $17\;{\mu}g/ml(73.3\;{\mu}M),$ respectively, whereas other compounds did not exhibit significant activity against ACAT above $100\; {\mu}g/ml.$.
