Three new diterpenoids, eriocalyxins C-E (1-3), were isolated from Isodon eriocalyx. Their structures were elucidated as 6beta-hydroxy-15beta-acetoxy-3alpha,20-epoxy-16beta, 17-epoxy-ent-kaur-1,7-dione (1), 1alpha,7beta-dihydroxy-6beta, 15beta-diacetoxy-7,20-epoxy-ent-kaur-16-ene (2), and 15beta-acetoxy-1,6-dioxo-6,7-seco-ent-kaur-2,16-dien-7,20-olide (3), respectively, by means of spectroscopic methods, including one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques.
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.
