Abstract:
Ten new cassane-type diterpenoids, caesalbonducins D-F (1-3), 6-deacetoxybonducellpin B (4), 3-acetoxy-α-caesalpin (5), 2(3)-en-α-caesalpin (6), 1α-hydroxycaesalpinin J (7), 1α-hydroxy-6-decaetoxysalpinin J (8), 6α-hydroxycaesall M (9), and 6α-hydroxy-14(17)-dehydrocaesalpin F (10), along with eight known compounds (11-18), were isolated from the pericarps of Caesalpinia bonduc. Compounds 1-3 and 11 are methyl-migrated cassane-type diterpenoids with a 19(4→3)-cassane skeleton. The structures of 1-10 were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR methods and other spectroscopic analysis. The neuroprotective effects of the isolated compounds were evaluated.
