New diterpenoids from the marine mangrove Bruguiera gymnorrhiza

J Nat Prod. 2004 Sep;67(9):1620-3. doi: 10.1021/np040062t.

Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the stem of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza yielded three new ent-kaurane diterpenoids (1, 2, and 3) and one new ent-beyerane diterpenoid (4) together with nine known ent-kaurane diterpenoids. All structures and the relative stereochemistry of the new compounds were determined by NMR spectroscopic studies. The absolute stereochemistry of 4 was determined by CD data. Some of the compounds showed moderate cytotoxic properties.
