Abstract

Four new diterpenes (1-4) were isolated from the leaves of Myrospermum frutescens as minor constituents. Chagresnol (1), 6beta,18-diacetoxycassan-13,15-diene (2), and chagreslactone (3) possess cassane skeletons, while chagresnone (4) exhibits a cleistanthane skeleton. Molecular structures and their relative stereochemistries were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy in combination with UV, IR, and MS spectral data. Although compound 2 was previously reported as a synthetic product, we report its first isolation as a natural product. Derivative products (10-13) were obtained to test their activities against Chagas's disease. In addition, the absolute stereochemistry of the previously isolated cassane diterpene 5 from M. frutescens is presented.
