The novel sesquiterpene lactone glucoside 2α-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4α-hydroxy-1α,5α,11α-H-quai-10(14)-en-12,8α-olide (= 2α-hydroxy-11α,13-dihydro-1-epi-inuviscolide-2α-O-β-D-glucopyranoside) was isolated from flowerheads of Arnica mollis. Its structural elucidation was carried out by NMR spectroscopy (1H and 13C NMR, 1H-1H COSY, HMBC, HMQC and 1H-1H NOESY) and mass spectrometry (DCI). Additionally, the lignan (+)-pinoresinol-4′-β-D-glucopyranoside and benzyl-β-glucoside were isolated and identified.
