Three clerodane diterpenoids, 8S-kolavic acid 18-methyl ester (1), 8S-kolavic acid 15-methyl ester (2) and 8S-kolavenol (3) were isolated from the acetone extract of the stem bark of Entada abyssinica along with trans-communic acid (4) and 1-octacosanol. Their structures were established mainly based on 1D (1H, 13C and DEPT) and 2D (1H-1H COSY, HSQC and HMBC) NMR experiments. Compound 1, described here for the first time, showed strong antimicrobial and moderate antileishmanial activities.
