Abstract

A chloroform extract of the roots of the Egyptian Salvia lanigera Poir. afforded two new orthoquinones, lanigerone (8-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-7-methyl-1,2-naphthoquinone) and salvigerone (methyl 1,10-seco-5(10),6,8,13-abietatetraene-11,12-dion-1-oate) together with two known diterpenoids, arucadiol and pisiferal. Structural assignments of the new compounds were based on spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, MS, ID- and 2D-NMR).
