Diterpenes from Guarea Trichilioides

Chemical investigation of the leaves of Guarea trichilioides afforded six diterpenoids, including four labdane and two clerodane derivatives. The following four are new: 3-oxolabd-8(17),12Z,14-triene, 3α-hydroxylabd-8(17),12Z,14-triene, 3β-hydroxylabd-8(17),12Z,14-triene and(-)-2-oxo-13-hydroxy,3,14-clerodandiene.

Cycloartane derivatives from Guarea trichilioides

Investigation of the leaves of Guarea trichilioides afforded nine cycloartane derivatives including the following seven novel ones: cycloart-24-en-. © 1993.

Minor sesquiterpenes from the volatile oil from leaves of Guarea guidonia Sleumer (Meliaceae)

The essential oil from leaves of Guarea guidonia was subjected to chromatographic separation procedures to afford nine sesquiterpenes; two of them are new eudesmane derivatives. The chemical structures of the obtained compounds were characterised by spectrometric analysis, mainly mass spectrometry and NMR.
