Main observation and conclusion

As part of our continuing efforts toward the discovery of the biologically active diterpenoids from medicinal plants, six new C-ring aromatized abietane diterpenoids, clerodenoids A—F (1—6), were isolated from Clerodendrum chinense. These C-ring aromatized compounds mainly belonged to the rearranged abietane skeletons of 17(15→16)-abeo-abietane (2—4) and 17(15→16), 18(4→3)-diabeo-abietane (5 and 6). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data, X-ray crystallography, and ECD calculation. Compounds 5 and 6 displayed strong antiproliferative activities against A549 and HL-60 cell lines.image
