The surface exudate of the aerial parts of S. adenophora [1], that showed germination total inhibition [2] against Papaver rhoeas L. and Avena sativa L. at 5mg/L in Petri dish experiments, subjected to column chromatography on Sephadex LH-20 and silica gel and to HPLC-MS and MS2 experiments followed by semi-preparative RP-HPLC, yielded two new clerodane diterpenoids (1 and 2), identified by IR and NMR analysis, including TOCSY, COSY, HSQC, HMBC and ROESY experiments, ESI-TRAP-MS and HR-MS analysis.
