Same structure 1 as that given by the research
group of Kubota was assigned for aciphyllene isolated from
D. hirusta on the basis of two dimensional GC and spectral analysis.
Subsequently, aciphyllene 1 was also found in several medicinally
valuable sources, such as Shorea robusta,4 Toona sinensis,5 and
Pogostemon cablin.6e8 Aciphyllene 1 was also found to be a component
of the volatile blends let out by ficus trees to attract specific
pollinating wasps.9
