Immunosuppressive terpenes from Prinsepia utilis

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2007 Sep-Dec;9(6-8):637-42. doi: 10.1080/10286020600979589.

Abstract

Two new hemiterpenes, utililactone (1) and epiutililactone (2), along with nine known compounds (3-11), were isolated from the leaves of Prinsepia utilis. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The isolated compounds showed significant immunosuppressive activities.
