Abstract
Three novel asymmetric ent-kaurane dimers xindongnins M-O (1-3) were isolated from Isodon rubescens var. rubescens. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR analysis. The relative stereochemistry of 1 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, which also confirmed the unique linkage of a single carbon-carbon bond between the two subunits of this dimer. A biogenetic pathway was proposed for the formation of these dimers.
