Summary:Hymenaea courbaril , a traditional medicinal plant from Brazil, produces a resin rich in terpenoid compounds, mainly diterpenes. The resin and others parts are used in folk medicine for treatment of several pathologies. Fractionation of the resin by silica gel open column chromatography afforded two compounds: (5S,9S,10R)-ent-labd-8(17)-en-15 ethyl acetate ( 1 ) and copalic acid [5-(2-methylene-5,5,8atrimethyl-(1R,4aR,8aR)-decahydronaphthalen-1-yl)-3-methylpent-2E-enoic acid] ( 2 ). This is the first report of compound 1 .
