Abstract

Two novel biologically active oxepane diterpenoids, zoapatanol (1) and montanol (2), have been isolated from the leaves of zoapatle (Montanoa tomentosa). A tea prepared from the plant has been used in Mexico for the past four centuries to induce menses and labor. The isolation of 1 and 2 via a variety of chromatographic and chemical procedures is described. The two title diterpenoids and related oxepanes were characterized by a variety of ...
