Abstract: The highly oxygenated pimarane diterpenoids basimarols A, B, and C (3-5) were isolated from the plant species Basilicum polystachyon, which was collected within the Australian arid zone. Structure elucidation was performed using a suite of spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray crystallography. Anticancer and anti-DENV activity of 3-5 was explored, but only limited activity was observed. More extensive antiviral evaluation of stachyonic acid A (1), which was also isolated from B. polystachyon, revealed broad spectrum antiviral activity against West Nile virus (Kunjin strain, WNVKun) and human influenza viruses H1N1 and H3N2.
