  • Confirmation of structure for one compound via X-ray crystallographic analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Three novel diterpenoids, designated excoecarins D, E, and K, were successfully isolated.
    • The chemical structures were determined as 3alpha,18-dihydroxy-3beta,20-epoxybeyer-15-ene (1), (15R, 16S)-ent-15,16-epoxybeyeran-3-one (2), and ent-3beta-hydroxykaur-16-en-2-one (3).
    • The structure of excoecarin D (1) was unequivocally confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The study successfully identified and characterized three new diterpenoids from Excoecaria agallocha.
    • The findings expand the knowledge of diterpenoid chemistry and the phytochemical profile of this plant.
    • The detailed structural information provides a basis for further investigation into the biological activities of these novel compounds.
