Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the bark of Cryptomeria japonica led to the isolation of five new abietane diterpenoids, 5-epi-12-hydroxy-6-nor-5,6-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,5-olide (1), 12-hydroxy-6β-methoxy-6,7-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,6-olide (2), 6β,12-dihydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,8-olide (4), 5,12-dihydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7,8-olide (5), and 5α,8-epoxy-12-hydroxy-7,8-secoabieta-8,11,13-trien-7-al (6), together with one known abietane diterpenoid, obtuanhydride (3). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic data and comparison with the spectral data of known analogs. At the concentration of 100 μg/mL, compounds 4, 5, and 6 inhibited antifungal activities against wood decay fungi activity by 18.7, 37.2, and 46.7%, respectively.
