A new eudesmanolide, 1α-acetoxy-8α,9β-dihydroxy-2-oxo-eudesman-3,7(11)-dien-8,12-olide (2), together with a known eudesmanolide, 1α-acetoxy-8α-hydroxy-2-oxo-eudesman-3,7(11)-dien-8,12-olide (1), and a known flavone, 4',5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone (3), was isolated from the plant of Salvia
Four new eudesmane-type sesquiterpenes, named plebeiolide A-C (1-3) and plebeiafuran (4), together with a known eudesmanolide (5), were isolated from the basal leaves of Salvia plebeia R. Br. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS
