TL;DR: Bioassay-directed fractionation of the MeCOEt extract of Porella cordeana yielded drimenin and aristolone, which were moderately toxic towards DNA-repair-deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Abstract: Bioassay-directed fractionation of the MeCOEc extract of Pwe&a cordeana yielded drimenin (l) and arisrolone 141, which were moderately toxic towards DNA-repair- deficient mutants of Saccharomyces cwevisiae. Three inactive sesquiterpenes, 7-ketoisodrimenin (2),7-ketoisodrimenin-5-ene 131, and norpinguisanolide, were also obtained. Compounds 2 and 3 are new. Bioassays that detect the presence of compounds that act by a specific biochemical mechanism likely to result in selective anticancer activity are becoming more frequently deployed in the biological screening of natural product extracts (1-4). One assay recently developed (4) utilizes DNA repair- or recombination-deficient mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerwisiae to detect the presence of compounds which induce DNA damage. This assay was recently employed in our laboratory to isolate three bioactive sterols from Pseudobersama mossambicensis (5). The present paper documents the further use of such an approach in the isolation of two moderately bioactive sesquiterpenes from the liverwort Porella cordeana (Hueb.) Moore (Porellaceae). Two novel but inactive drimane sesquiter- penes were also isolated. Previous phytochemical studies ofPo. cordeuna have afforded the sesquiterpenes pinguisanin, norpinguisone methyl ester, porellapinguisanolide, porellapinguisenone, spiropinguisan, and striatenone, and the diterpene perrottetianal

TL;DR: In this paper, a rearranged abietane skeleton of cyrtophyllone A (1) and B (2) was characterized using spectral analysis (UV, IR, MS, two dimensional (2D) NMR and CD) and X-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: These results established that the natural compound (+)-1, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, has a normal absolute stereochemistry like that of manool.
Abstract: Enantioselective total synthesis of the labdane diterpene (-)-1, was achieved starting from the R-(-)-enantiomer of the Wieland-Miescher ketone (3). The enantiomer (+)-1 was obtained by partial synthesis via microbial transformation of sclareol (24). These results established that the natural compound (+)-1, a platelet aggregation inhibitor, has a normal absolute stereochemistry like that of manool (2). The B-norlabdane-related compound 44 was also synthesized using a novel ring contraction reaction.

TL;DR: The rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium (Zingiberaceae) have yielded two new diterpenes which have been identified by spectroscopic methods, notably long-range heteronuclear coupling (HMBC) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The rhizomes of Hedychium coronarium (Zingiberaceae) have yielded two new diterpenes which have been identified by spectroscopic methods, notably long-range heteronuclear coupling (HMBC). Coronarin-D methyl ether is a labdane diterpene typical of those previously isolated from this species. The second compound, identified as 14,15,16-trinorlabda-8(17),11-(E)-dien-13-al, appears to be an unusual trinorditerpene catabolite which could be formed by degradation of the normal labdanes produced by this species.
