Terpenoids from Flueggea virosa and their anti-hepatitis C virus activity

Terpenoids with anti-HCV activity were identified from Flueggea virosa. The 9(10 → 20)-abeo-ent-podocarpanes were reported from this genus for the first time. The amide coupling reaction on 3,4-seco-30-nor-friedelane yielded unexpected compounds.
