title: Antifungal rosane diterpenes and other constituents of Hugonia castaneifolia.
abstract: The rosane diterpenoids hugorosenone [3beta-hydroxyrosa-1(10),15-dien-2-one], 18-hydroxyhugorosenone and 18-hydroxy-3-deoxyhugorosenone, and 12-hydroxy-13-methylpodocarpa-8,11,13-trien-3-one were isolated as antifungal constituents of H. castaneifolia Engl. root bark, together with the previously reported di-podocarpanoids hugonone A and hugonone B that were weakly active, and 1(10),15-rosadiene-2beta,3beta-diol (hugorosenol), 4alpha-methoxyhimachal-10-en-5beta-ol (hugonianene B) and 2-hydroxyhenpentacont-2-enal, and the known compounds tetracosyl-(E)-ferrulate and caryophyllene oxide, all of which were inactive. Hugorosenone also exhibited activity against Anopheles gambiae mosquito larvae. Structural determination was achieved based on spectroscopic data.
