Jatrophenone, a novel macrocyclic bioactive diterpene from Jatropha gossypifolia
Abstract
A novel macrocyclic diterpene, jatrophenone, has been isolated from the whole plant of Jatropha gossypifolia. The structure of the compound was established by detailed studies of its one- and two-dimensional (1D and 2D) NMR spectra. The compound possesses significant antibacterial activity.
