Abstract

Das folhas de Guarea kunthiana foram obtidos um novo diterpeno com esqueleto do tipo caurano (ent-caur-16-eno-2-ona), além de oito diterpenos (ent-caur-16-eno, ent-3a- e 3b-hidroxicaur-16-eno, kolavelool, kolavenol, kolavenal, ent-13-epi-óxido de manoíla e (-)-neftenol), quatro sesquiterpenos (alismol, alismóxido, espatulenol e 4b,10a-aromadendranodiol), poliprenol-12 e a- e d-tocoferóis.
