AI-generated Abstract

This study investigates the diterpene acids present in a newly identified species of Mikania from Brazil. Through a series of extraction and isolation processes, eight distinct diterpene acids were identified, contributing to the understanding of the chemical diversity within the Mikania genus. The findings suggest a chemotaxonomic relevance, indicating a preference for labdane and pimarane skeletons in the diterpenoids of this new species, while no ent-kauranes were detected.
