Four new neo-clerodane diterpenoids, scutebarbatines W-Z (1-4), were isolated from the ethanol extract of Scutellaria barbata (Labiatae), and their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic studies. In addition, the proposed structures of at least seven 13-spiro subtype neo-clerodanes: scutehenanine B (5), scutebarbatine G (6), 6-O-nicotinoylscutebarbatine G (7), barbatin A (8), 6,7-di-O-nicotinoylscutebarbatine G (9), 6-O-nicotinoyl-7-O-acetylscutebarbatine G (10), and scutebarbatine F (11), reported by Dai and co-workers from the same species, were incorrectly assigned and have been revised by reanalysis of the published NMR data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
