Aj. Demuner et al., STRUCTURE AND PLANT-GROWTH REGULATORY ACTIVITY OF NEW DITERPENES FROMPTERODON-POLYGALAEFLORUS, Journal of natural products, 59(8), 1996, pp. 770-772
Two new furanditerpenes, vouacapane-6 alpha,7 beta,17 beta-triol (3) a
nd vouacapane-6 alpha,7 beta,17 beta,19-tetraol (4), have been isolate
d from the seeds of Pterodon polygalaeflorus Benth. The selective effe
cts of these two diterpenes and of 6 alpha,7 beta-dihydroxyvouacapan-1
7 beta-oic acid (1) and 6 alpha-hydroxyvouacapano-7 beta,17 beta-lacto
ne (2) on the radicle growth of Sorghum bicolor and Cucumis sativus we
