Abstract

Two new homodrimane sesquiterpenoids, globbatones A and B (1 and 2), and one 16-norlabdane diterpenoid, globbatone C (3), together with two new naturally occurring, (E)-labda-8(17),12-diene-15,16-olide (4) and γ-bicyclohomofarnesen-12-ol (5), and one known homodrimane sesquiterpenoid (6), nine known labdane diterpenoids (7–15), and one isospongian diterpenoid (16), were isolated from the chloroform extract of Globba sherwoodiana rhizomes. The structures of the new compounds 1–3 were elucidated based on 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analyses. The chloroform extract of G. sherwoodiana rhizomes and 10 μM concentrations of some of its constituents 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 12, and 14 showed the moderate anti-Vpr activities, without cytotoxic effects on the TREx-HeLa-Vpr cell line.
