The phytochemical investigation of the leaves and the roots of Suregada procera afforded the new ent-abietane diterpenoid sureproceriolide A (1) along with the known secondary metabolites 8,14β:11,12α-diepoxy-13(15)-abietane-16,12-olid (2), jolkinolide A (3), jolkinolide E (4), ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (5), sitosterol (6), oleana-9(11):12-dien-3β-ol (7), and oleic acid (8). Their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, and the structure of jolkinolide A (3) was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Sureproceriolide A (1) showed modest activity against the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus lugdunensis (MIC = 31.
