Five new dihydro-beta-agarofuran sesquiterpenes (1-5) were isolated from the leaves of Maytenus chiapensis. The structures of 1-5 were determined by means of 1D and 2D NMR techniques. A semiselective HMBC technique was applied in order to obtain complete (13)C NMR assignments. Absolute configurations were determined by CD studies and chemical correlations and on biogenetic grounds. Compound 4 showed weak activity against a multidrug-resistant Leishmania tropica line.
