Rhodomollins A and B, two Diterpenoids with an Unprecedented Backbone from the Fruits of Rhododendron molle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two new grayanoids, rhodomollin A (1) and rhodomollin B (2), possessing an unprecedented D-homo grayanane carbon skeleton, were isolated from the fruits of Rhododendron molle. The structures of 1 and 2 were fully characterized using a combination of spectroscopic analyses and X-ray crystallography. Rhodomollin B (2) exhibited modest activity against influenza virus A/95-359, with an IC50 value of 19.24 μM.

Grayanane Diterpenoids from the Fruits of Pieris formosa
Many species of the family Ericaceae, such as the plants belonging to the genera Pieris, Rhododendron, Lyonia, Kalmia, and Leucothoe, are usually rich in grayanane-type diterpenoids with a 5/7/6/5 ring system, which is responsible for the toxicity of these species [1, 2]. Recently, a series of novel highly acylated diterpenoids with specific 3,4-secograyanane skeleton have been reported from Rh...
