Abietane Diterpenoids from Callus Cultures of Taxus baccata

Abstract

A new compound was isolated from calli of Taxus baccata L. and assigned the structure 3β,11-dihydroxy-12-methoxyabieta-8,11,13-triene-7-one. Two other metabolites were identified as 3-oxocryptojaponol and taxamairein C, both previously isolated from Taxus mairei.
