Five diterpenoids and 14 known diterpenoids were isolated from the petroleum ether extract of Pinus massoniana resin. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data interpretation. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds were evaluated using the MTT method. The results showed that three of the less polar diterpenoids had strong cytotoxicity against A431 and A549 cancer cells, whereas those of high polarity had none. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
