New cassane-type diterpenoids from Caesalpinia bonduc

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2014;62(7):729-33. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c14-00186.

Abstract

Six new cassane diterpenoids, named caesalls H-M (1-6), were isolated from the seed kernels of Caesalpinia bonduc. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, mainly NMR and MS. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 3 were determined by a single-crystal X-ray study using a mirror CuKα radiation and circular dichroism (CD) spectra, respectively. None of the compounds were cytotoxic against HepG-2, MCF-7 and MG-63 cells.
