Abstract

Two new C11-terpenes with an octahydrobenzofuran skeleton, designated ficusnotadiol (1) and ficusnotanone (2), have been isolated from the plant Ficus nota. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The absolute structure of 1 was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis.
