Diterpenoids from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora

Phytochemistry. 1995 Apr;38(6):1451-5. doi: 10.1016/0031-9422(94)00815-b.

Abstract

Three new, seco-ent-kaurane diterpenoids, laxiflorins A, B and C, together with four known diterpenoids eriocalyxin B, oriodonin, and maeocrystals A and B, were isolated from the leaves of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. Their structures were assigned by a combination of one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques and computer modeling calculations. Laxiflorin C displayed weak cytotoxic activity.
