Caesalsins A-N, structurally diverse cassane diterpenoids from the seeds of Caesalpinia sinensis and their inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase and anti-inflammatory activities.

Fourteen previously undescribed cassane diterpenoids, named caesalsins A-N (1-14), along with ten known related compounds (15-24), were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia sinensis. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined through comprehensive spectral analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction,...
