Congress Abstract

Calocetriol (1), diacetylcalocediol (2), abeoabietalignol (3), labdanecaryophyllic acid (4), and ferrugimenthenol (5) were isolated from the bark of Calocedrus macrolepis var. formosana. Compounds 1 and 2 are secoabietane-type diterpenoids, and 3-5 with respective C₃₀, C₃₅, and C₃₀ skeletons are novel meroterpenoids. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic analysis. Of these compounds identified, 3-5 exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against human oral epidermoid carcinoma KB cells with IC₅₀ values of 8.9±0.1, 9.2±0.4, and 9.0±0.1µM, respectively.
