A new sesquiterpenoid from rhizomes of Homalomena occulta

Abstract

A new sesquiterpeniod, 6α, 7α, 10α-trihydroxyisoducane (1), together with two known sesquiterpenoids, oplodiol (2) and oplopanone (3), were isolated from the chloroform extract of the rhizomes of Homalomena occulta. Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectral interpretation.
