title: Diterpenoids from the Chinese herb Caryopteris terniflora and their antibacterial and antitumor activity.
abstract: Two ent-kaurene type diterpenoids, diterpenoids A (1) and B (2) were isolated from the Chinese herb Caryopteris terniflora and defined as ent-7beta, 11alpha,14-trihydroxy-18-aldehyde-11beta-20-epoxy-kaur-16-en15-one and ent-7beta,14-dihydroxy-11alpha-methoxy-18-aldehyde-11beta-20-epoxy-kaur-16-en-15-one respectively. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant antibacterial and antitumour activity.
