Two new diterpenoids, gaultheric acid (1) and gaultheronoterpene (2), were
isolated from the roots of Gaultheria yunnanensis. Their structures were el
ucidated as 12-hydroxy-13-acetyl-8,11,13-podocarpatrien-18-oic acid (1) and
3 beta,12-dihydroxy-13-acetyl-4(18),8,11,13-podocarpatetraene (2) on the b
asis of spectral analysis.
