Baccharis tricuneata Bacchotricuneatin

Clerodanes.—In a study of South African Macowania species, a cis-clerodane acid (28) and labdanolic acid were obtained from M. glandulosa. Deoxymarrubialac-tone (29) has been isolated from Chaiturus marrubiastrum. Linarienone (30) is another ds-fused clerodane which has been obtained from the roots of Linaria japonica (Scrophulariaceae) and correlated with linaridial. The bacchotricuneatins A (31) and B (32) are two new diterpenoid lactones which were isolated from Baccharis tricuneata (Astereae) and whose structures were determined by a combination of spectra and X-ray analysis. 

This diterpene lactone, bacchotricuneatin A was also isolated from B. tricuneata [24] and Baccharis cassinaefolia D. C. [25],...
