Abstract
A phytochemical investigation on the petroleum ether partition of the whole plant of Pseudocaryopteris paniculata, yield seven new compounds: one phytanes diterpenoid (2Z,6E,10E) 14-keto-2,6,10-trimethyl pentadeca-2,6,10-trien-1-carboxylic acid (1), five clerodane diterpenoids: paniculatins A-E (2, 3a/3b, 4a/4b), one abietane diterpenoid: ent-uncinatone (5), together with 12 known compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D and 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance （NMR_, Infrared Radiation (IR), and mass spectroscopic data. Compound 2, 5, and 11 showed weak selective cytotoxic activity of 11 human cancer cell lines.
