T. Hashimoto et al., STRUCTURES OF 5 NEW HIGHLY OXYGENATED LABDANE-TYPE DITERPENOIDS, PTYCHANTINS-A-E, CLOSELY-RELATED TO FORSKOLIN FROM THE LIVERWORT PTYCHANTHUS-STRIATUS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(30), 1994, pp. 5457-5460
Five novel labdane-type diterpenoids, named ptychantins A-E, closely r
elated to forskolin have been isolated from the liverwort Ptychanthus
striatus, and their absolute structures established by a combination o
f high resolution NMR and CD spectra, X-ray crystallographic analysis
and chemical degradation.
