Abstract

Three new, seco-ent-kaurane Diterpenoids, laxiflorins A, B and C, together with four known Diterpenoids eriocalyxin B, oriodonin, and maeocrystals A and B, were isolated from the leaves of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. Their structures were assigned by a combination of one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques and computer modeling calculations. Laxiflorin C displayed weak cytotoxic activity.
