We screened myoga extracts for inhibitors of human platelet aggregation and human 5-lipoxygenase. We identified a novel labdane type of diterpene, together with three known diterpenes (miogadial and galanals A and B) from the flower buds of myoga. Spectroscopic data indicated the structure of the new compound to be 12(E)-labdene-15,16,(8β)17-trial (miogatrial). Miogatrial and miogadial were potent inhibitors of human platelet aggregation and human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). The sesquiterpene, polygodial, also exhibited strong inhibitory activity against human platelet aggregation and 5-LOX. On the other hand, galanals A and B did not have inhibitory activity in either experimental system. It thus appears that a 3-formyl-3-butenal structure was essential for the potent inhibition of human platelet aggregation and human 5-LOX.
