Abstract:
The acetone extract of Dicranopteris dichotoma afforded two new tetranorclerodanes, 18-hydroxyaylthonic acid (1) and 18-oxo-aylthonic acid (2), and four new clerodane-type diterpene glycosides, (6S,13S)-6-O-[6-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl]cleroda-3,14-dien-13-ol (3), (6S,13S)-6-O-[4-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl]cleroda-3,14-dien-13-ol (4), 6-O-[6-O-acetyl-beta-d-glucopyranos-yl-(1-->4)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl]-(13E)-cleroda-3,13-dien-15-ol (5), and 6-O-[beta-d-glucopyranosyl]-(1-->4)-alpha-l-rhamnopyranosyl-(13E)-cleroda-3,13-dien-15-ol (6), together with two known compounds, aylthonic acid (7) and (6S,13S)-cleroda-3,14-diene-6,13-diol (8). The structures of these new compounds were established by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR techniques, MS, and acid hydrolysis. Compound 8 showed modest anti-HIV-1 activity.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
