Among them, three sesquiterpenes, 6-hydroxy-1-brasilene (1), epibrasilenol acetate (2), and 6-epi-β-snyderol (3), one acetogenin, (3Z,9Z)-7-chloro-6-hydroxy- 12-oxo-pentadeca-3,9-dien-1-yne (4), and one diterpene, 16-acetoxy-15-bromo-7- hydroxy-9(11)-parguerene (5), are new natural products. The structure elucidation and the assignment of the relative configurations of the isolated natural products were established on the basis of extensive analyses of their spectroscopic data (NMR, MS, IR). © 2009 American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy." }
