New germacrane sesquiterpenes from Salvia chinensis

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2008 Jun;56(6):843-6. doi: 10.1248/cpb.56.843.

Abstract

Two new germacrane sesquiterpenes, called salviadienol A (1) and salviadienol B (2), together with five known compounds, methyl-ent-4-epi-agath-18-oate (3), angelicoidenol (4), clovane-2beta,9alpha-diol (5), dehydrovomifoliol (6) and blumenol A (7), were isolated from Salvia chinensis. Their structures were identified on the basis of spectral characteristics.
