Cassane diterpene-lactones from the seed of Caesalpinia minax HANCE

Chem Biodivers. 2006 Nov;3(11):1260-5. doi: 10.1002/cbdv.200690128.

Abstract

Five new neocaesalpins, named neocaesalpin J-N (1-5, resp.), along with the known neocaesalpin A and eight known furanditerpenoids, namely epsilon-caesalpin, 7-acetoxy-epsilon-caesalpin, 14-deoxy-epsilon-caesalpin, caesalmins D-F, and bonducellins C and D, were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia minax HANCE. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses.
