Abstract
Two novel caged ent-kauranoids, neolaxiflorins D (1) and E (2), along with three other new ent-kauranoids, neolaxiflorins F-H (3-5), and a known one, eriocalyxin B (6), were obtained from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. Neolaxiflorin D (1) is the first 15,16-seco-16,17-dinor-ent-kaurane diterpenoid, and neolaxiflorin E (2) is the first 15,16-seco-17-homo-ent-kauranoid. The absolute configurations of ent-kauranoids 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Structural analysis of intermediate compounds 3-5 indicated that eriocalyxin B (6) is a biogenetic precursor of caged ent-kauranoids 1 and 2 as illustrated. The cytotoxic activity of the new compounds was evaluated by an MTT assay.
