ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo study the ent-kaurane diterpenoids from Rabdosia rubescens.MethodsThe compounds were isolated by chromatographies and their structures were identified by spectral analyses.ResultsFour compounds were isolated,and they were identified as bisrubescensin E (1),2α,3α,24-trihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (2),2α,3α,24-trihydroxyurs-12,20-(30)-dien-28-oic acid (3),and 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin (4).ConclusionCompound 1 is a new asymmetric ent-kauranoid dimer.Compound 2 is isolated from the plant for the first time.Compounds 3 and 4 are isolated from the plants ofRabdosia (B1.)
