Five labdane (1-5), an isolabdane (6), and five clerodane diterpenoids (7-11), were isolated from seeds, husks, and leaves of Colophospermum mopane. Compounds 1-3 and 6-9 are new, and their structures were elucidated by means of physical data analysis (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS). The absolute configurations of 1, 7, and 10 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction with Cu Kα radiation. For compounds 2 and 6, the absolute configurations were established by the modified Mosher's method and corroborated by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra of their 3-p-bromobenzoate derivatives. The crude extracts and compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial activity. The leaf extract was the most active against Staphylococcus aureus (125 μg/mL). Compound 11 showed the best inhibitory activity, with minimum inhibitory values of 15.6 μg/mL against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and 31.3 μg/mL against Enterococcus faecalis.

Improper use of antibiotics has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance, or "superbugs," outpacing the discovery of new antibiotics. The lack of rapid, high-throughput screening methods is a major bottleneck in discovery novel antibiotics. Traditional methods consume significant amounts of samples, making it challenging to discover new antibiotics from limited natural product extracts.

Two new nor-ent-halimane diterpenes and three previously unreported nor-clerodane diterpenes, designated callicaintides A-E (1-5), were isolated from Callicarpa integerrima. Compounds 1 and 2 feature a distinctive 5/6-membered ring system, while compounds 3-5 are characterized by progressively truncated carbon skeletons, containing 18, 17, and 16 carbons, respectively. In addition, four known compounds 6-9 were also identified.
