seco-Abietane diterpenoids, a phenylethanoid derivative, and antitubercular constituents from Callicarpa pilosissima

Six new compounds, including five new seco-abietane diterpenoids, 12-deoxy-seco-hinokiol methyl ester (1), 12-deoxy-11,12-dihydro-seco-hinokiol methyl ester (2), callicarpic acid A (3), 9alpha-hydroxycallicarpic acid A (4), and callicarpic acid B (5), and a new phenylethanoid derivative, 4-hydroxyphenethyl tetradecanoate (6), have been isolated from the leaves and twigs of Callicarpa pilosissima, together with 14 known compounds (7-20). The structures of these new compounds were determined through analyses of physical data. 12-Deoxy-11,12-dihydro-seco-hinokiol methyl ester (2), callicarpic acid B (5), and alpha-tocopherol trimer B (15) exhibit antitubercular activities (MICs
