Abstract
The isolation and structure determination of two new furanosesquiterpenoids, 2-O-acetyl-8,12-epoxygermacra-1(10),4,7,11-tetraene and 2-O-methyl-8,12-epoxygermacra-1(10)-4,7,11-tetraene, from gum exudates of Commiphora myrrh are reported. These two compounds, together with the known furanodienone isolated from C. erythraea, were found to have ixodicidal activity against Rhipicephalus appendiculatus tick larvae. © 1982.
