Abstract
A new pimarane-type diterpenoid, sucupiol (1), and nine known furanocassane-type diterpenoids, vouacapane (2), 7β-hydroxyvouacapane (3), 7β-acetoxyvouacapane (4), 6α-hydroxyvouacapane (5), 6α-acetoxyvouacapane (6), sucutinirane F (7), sucutinirane E (8), 6α, 7β-diacetoxyvouacapane (9), and 6α, 7β-diacetoxyvouacapane-14β-al (10), were isolated from the seeds of Bowdichia virgilioides and their structures were elucidated by using 2D NMR data. The isolation of 1 provides evidence to support the presence of intermediate A in the course of biosynthesis of furanocassane-type diterpenoids.
