The aerial parts of Centaureaa egyptiaca afforded 10 secondary metabolites including four sesquiterpene lactones; chlorohyssopifolin A (centaurepensin) ( 1 ), rediolpidetriol ( 2 ), linichlorinA ( 3 ), and sinaicin ( 4 ), one monoterpene; loliolid ( 5 ), one phenolic: tyrosol ( 6 ), three lignans; arctigenin ( 7 ), matairesinol ( 8 ), and pinoresinol ( 9 ), and one steroid; ergosta‐5,22‐dien‐3‐ol ( 10 ). The cluster analysis of 32 Centaurea species revealed that C. aegyptiaca is closely related to C. repens and C. solstitialise . The isolated compounds ( 1 – 10 ) were screened against CCRF‐CEM‐leukemia, MDA‐MB‐231‐pcDNA3 breast cancer, and HCT116 (p53 + / + ) colon carcinoma cell lines. Compounds 1 and 2 were the most potent compounds against both leukemia and breast carcinoma cell lines.
