Abstract: The genus Echinops(Compositae) consists of ca. 120 species in the world.  This genus is represented by 17 species mainly distributed in northwestern area of China. E. ritro L. has only been found in Xinjiang and is used as a remedy for different ailments in Uighur Pharmacopeia instead of E. grijissi Hance.  Echinobithiophene A(1),  a new peroxide bithiophene with a six-membered ring,  was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of Echinops ritro L., and its structure was identified by spectral analysis including 2D NMR,  and comparison of optical rotation values and chemical shifts of 13C NMR between the predicted and experimental data. Compound 1 showed significant anti-microbial activity.

Key words: E.ritro L, Echinobithiophene A, anti-bacteria, Optical rotation values, DFT.
