Three new diterpenoids from Coleus forskohlii Briq

Abstract

Three new diterpenoids, forskolin G(2), forskolin H(3), forskolin I(4), were isolated from the whole plant of the Coleus forskohlii Briq., and their structures were elucidated as 1α,6β-diacetoxy-8,13-epoxylabd-14-en-11-one, 1α-hydroxy-6β,7β-diacetoxy-8,13-epoxylabd-14-en-11-one, and 1α,9α-dihydroxy-6β,7α-diacetoxy-8,13-epoxylabd-14-en-11-one on the basis of spectral data.
