Abstract
Two abietane-type diterpenoids have been isolated from the roots of Pl ectranthus hereroensis (Labiatae), one being the already known hormino ne [1] and the other a new substance, 7 17(15-->16)-abeo-abieta-8,12,1 6-triene-11,14-dione [2], whose structure was established by spectrosc opic means. Compounds 1 and 2 showed antimicrobial activity against St aphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Candida albicans, and Pseudomona s aeruginosa.
