Nine new eudesmanolides (<b>1</b>−<b>9</b>), two new guaianolides (<b>12</b> and <b>13</b>), and a new germacrane (<b>10</b>), along with a previously\nreported guaianolide (<b>11</b>), have been isolated from the roots of <i>Thapsia nitida</i> var. <i>meridionalis</i>. <i>Thapsia nitida var</i>.\n<i>nitida</i> also afforded compound <b>13</b> along with a new guaianolide (<b>14</b>). The structure of <b>13</b> was confirmed by X-ray\ncrystallographic analysis. Compounds <b>1</b>, <b>2</b>, and <b>11</b>−<b>14</b> have been tested as potential inhibitors of the sarco- and\nendoplasmic Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent ATPases (SERCA) pump. None of them showed significant activities.
