Constituents of Caesalpinia crista from Indonesia

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2006 Feb;54(2):213-8. doi: 10.1248/cpb.54.213.

Abstract

Ten new furanocassane-type diterpenes named, caesalpinins H-P (1-9) and norcaesalpinin F (10), were isolated from the CH(2)Cl(2) extract of the seed kernels of Caesalpinia crista, together with 13 known diterpenes. Their structures were determined based on the spectroscopic analysis. Among the isolated compounds, caesalpinin N (7) represents the first example of furanocassane-type diterpene possessing an aldehyde group at C-14.
