The aerial parts of Hyalis argentea yielded, in addition to four known
ent-kaurenes, three known guaianolides and one coumarin, the new (7R)
-ent-15-oxokaur-16-en-7-ol-19-oic acid beta-glucopyranosyl ester and t
hree new diterpene lactones which biosynthetically seem to be derived
from ent-15-oxokaurenoic acid. The structures were determined mainly b
y one- and two-dimensional spectroscopy. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier S
