Five abietane diterpenes compounds were separated from petroleum ether extraction sites of ethanol extract of Caryopteris Mongholica, and Compound 1 was identified as a new abietane diterpenes compound by NMR and mass spectrometry, named as Tuurgan A of Caryopteris Mongholica; and Compounds 2-5 separated from Caryopteris Mongholica for the first time were identified as Ferruginol (2), Taxodione (3), Caryopterisoid Q (4), and Huperphlegmarin B (5). The anti-lung cancer activity of the Compounds 1-5 were determined, which results showed that they all had high A549 cytotoxicity.
