Diverse diterpenoids and a triterpenoid from Euphorbia spinidens Bornm. ex Prokh.

Four previously unreported diterpenoids including three ent-atisanes (1-3) and one ent-abietane (4), along with one known linear triterpenoid (5) and five known diterpenoids including four myrsinanes (6-9), and one abietane (10) have been isolated from the roots of Euphorbia spinidens Bornm. ex Prokh. The structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses including HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR and comparison of the data with those reported in the literature. Antimicrobial potential of isolated compounds were also evaluated. Guionianol B (10) showed good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis with MIC value of 6.25 μg/mL.
