Seven undescribed abietane-type diterpenoids, gauleucins A-G, and 11 known ones were isolated from an EtOH extract of the aerial parts of Gaultheria leucocarpa var. yunnanensis. These isolates could be classified into four subtypes: abietanes, 16-nor-abietanes, 16,18-di-nor-abietanes, and 3,4-seco-16-nor-abietane. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations of an undescribed and two known diterpenoids were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Four compounds showed moderate inhibitory effects against the LPS-induced production of nitric oxide in BV-2 microglial cells. In an α-glucosidase inhibitory assay, gauleucin E and margoclin displayed inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 319.3 and 327.9 μM, respectively, while the IC50 value of the positive control (acarbose) was 387.8 μM.
