Two new icetexane diterpenes, cyclocoulterone (1) and komaroviquinone (2), and a novel 20-norabietane diterpene, dracocephalone A (3), were isolated from Dracocephalum komarovi. Their structures were elucidated by extensive analyses of spectral data. Komaroviquinone (2) showed strong trypanocidal activity against epmastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of American trypanosomiasis, with a minimum lethal concentration of 0.4 micro M.
