Six new eremophilane sesquiterpenes, (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-9-en-12-oic acid (1), (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-1(10)-en-12-oic acid (2), (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-1(10)-en-2-oxo-12-oic acid (3), (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-9-en-12,8α-olide (4), (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-9-en-12,8β-olide (5) and (rel)-4β,5β,7β-eremophil-9α,10α-epoxy-12-oic acid (6), were isolated from the leaves of a specimen of Ocotea lancifolia (Lauraceae). Two other known sesquiterpenes, 4β,5β,7β-eremophil-11-en- 10α-ol (7) reported for the first time in the genus Ocotea, and the aromadendrene sesquiterpene, spathulenol (8), were also isolated. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral data (MS, IR, UV and NMR-1D and 2D) and subsequent comparisons with the literature.

A new salicylic acid derivative, pentacosanyl salicylate, was isolated from the leaves of the plant toxic to cattle, Riedeliella graciliflora, in addition to a digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG), 1,2-di-O-α-linolenoyl-3-O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-galactopyranosyl-glycerol, kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, kaempferol-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, quercetin-3-O-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, rutin, (+)-catechin and the dimer (+)-catechin-(4β-8)-catechin, glutinol, squalene, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, phytol, β-carotene, α-tocopherol and ficaprenol-12. Their structures were determined using spectral techniques (MS, IR, and NMR-1D and 2D) and based on literature data.
