Abstract:
Two new macrocyclic diterpenoids, multifidanol (1) and multifidenol (2) along with several known compounds have been isolated from the stem of Jatropha multifida. The structures of the new compounds were established from the extensive studies of their 1D and 2D NMR spectra. The cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of these two constituents were examined.
