From the root extracts of Salvia hypargeia, in addition to the known diterpenoids cryptanol and horminone, six new abietane diterpenoids were isolated. The structures of the new and the known compounds were established by spectral data. The new compounds, hypargenins A, B, C, D, and F, showed antibacterial activity, while hypargenin F was also active against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Hypargenin E did not exhibit antibacterial activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
