title: New compounds from Commiphora myrrha (Nees) Engl.
abstract: Phytochemical investigation of Commiphora myrrha (Nees) Engl. has afforded six new compounds identified as cadina-3-en-15-ol (myrracadinol A) (1), 7, 8-seco-2, 5-dihydroxy-12-acetoxycalam-8-ene (myrracalamene A) (2), 7, 8-seco-2, 3, 5-hydroxy-12-acetoxycalame-8-ene (myrracalamene B) (3), 7, 8-seco-cadin-3, 8-dien-2beta, 12-diol (myrracadinol B) (4), 7, 8-seco-12-hydroxycalam-8-ene (myrracalamene C) (6), 7, 8-seco-cadin-3,7(12)-dien-5alpha,10alpha-diol (myrracadinol C) (7) along with a known compound tria-cont-1-ene (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral and chemical analyses.
