New eudesmane sesquiterpenes from Plectranthus cylindraceus

J Nat Prod. 2000 Dec;63(12):1665-8. doi: 10.1021/np000124p.

Abstract

Three new eudesmane sesquiterpenes, plectranthone (1), desacetylplectranthone (2), isodeacetylplectranthone (3), and the three known flavonols pachypodol, casticin, and chrysosplenol D were isolated for the first time from the aerial parts of Plectranthus cylindraceus. Their structures have been established on the basis of spectral data. The structures and relative stereochemistries of 1 and 2 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
