ent-Clerodane diterpenes and other constituents from the liverwort Adelanthus lindenbergianus (Lehm.) Mitt

Eleven ent-clerodanes, 13-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-3,14-diene, 15-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-3,13(E)-diene, 1beta,12:15,16-diepoxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-18alpha,6alpha-olide, 8beta,12:15, 16-diepoxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13(16),14-dien-18alpha,6alpha-olide, 1beta,16:15,16-diepoxy-cis-ent-cleroda-12,14-dien-18alpha,6alpha-olide, 7beta,12:8beta,12-diepoxy-15-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13-en-16,15:18alpha,6alpha-diolide, 7beta,12:8beta,12-diepoxy-16-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13-en-15,16:18alpha,6alpha-diolide, 1alpha-acetoxy-8beta,12-epoxy-15-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13-en-16,15:18alpha,6alpha-diolide, 1beta,12-epoxy-16-hydroxy-cis-ent-cleroda-13-en-15,16:18alpha,6alpha-diolide, 8beta,12-epoxy-15-hydroxy-trans-cleroda-13-en-16,15:18alpha,6alpha-diolide, 8beta,12-epoxy-16-hydroxy-trans-cleroda-13-en-15,16:18alpha,6alpha-diolide along with the known clerodane diterpenes anastreptin and orcadensin have been isolated from the liverwort Adelanthus lindenbergianus (Lehm.) Mitt. Furthermore, three eudesmane sesquiterpenes together with the known (-)-1beta,10-epoxyaristolan, 3,4-seco-4(23),20(29)-lupadien-3,28-dicarboxylic acid dimethyl ester and two acetophenone derivatives were identified by spectroscopic methods, essentially MS and NMR experiments.
