title: Cadinane-type sesquiterpenes from the roots of Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata.
abstract: Five new cadinane-type sesquiterpenes, 15-acetoxy-T-muurolol (1), isokhusinodiol (2), cadin-10(14)-ene-4beta,5alpha-diol (3), cadinane-4beta,5alpha,10beta-triol (4), and muurolane-4beta,5beta,10beta-triol (5), together with five known compounds, T-cadinol (6), T-muurolol (7), alpha-cadinol (8), delta-cadinol (9), and khusinodiol (10), were isolated from the roots of Taiwania cryptomerioides. The structure of the new constituents were elucidated through chemical and spectral studies.
