An 8,9-seco-lindenane disesquiterpenoid, chloramultiol G, four eudesmane sesquiterpenoids, ent-(3R)-3-hydroxyatractylenolide III and multistalactones A-C, and four guaiane sesquiterpenoids, (1R,4S,5R,85,10S)-zedoalactone A and multistalactones D-F, along with 14 known compounds, were isolated from whole plant tissues of Chloranthus muttistachys. Their structures were established by extensive NMR experiments in conjunction with mass spectrometry. Except for chloramultiol G, the absolute stereochemistries of the other eight were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and CD spectra. Nine compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines and for antifungal activity against four microorganisms in vitro, but all were inactive. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
