title: Cassane diterpene-lactones from the seed of Caesalpinia minax HANCE.
abstract: Five new neocaesalpins, named neocaesalpin J-N (1-5, resp.), along with the known neocaesalpin A and eight known furanditerpenoids, namely epsilon-caesalpin, 7-acetoxy-epsilon-caesalpin, 14-deoxy-epsilon-caesalpin, caesalmins D-F, and bonducellins C and D, were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia minax HANCE. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses.
