Lewis acid mediated skeletal rearrangement of the ingol diterpenoids 1 and 4 via regio‐ and stereospecific cyclopropane‐ring opening afforded the four new compounds 2, 3, 5 , and 6 , named nivulianol A–D ( Scheme 1 ). Their structures were established by means of IR, MS, and in‐depth NMR spectroscopic analyses. The rearranged congeners were tested for lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced prostaglandin (PG) E 2 (cyclooxygenase‐2) inhibition. Thereby, nivulianol B (=(1 S* ,2 E ,4 R* ,5 S* ,7 Z ,9 S* ,11 R ,13 S* ,14 S* )‐14‐acetoxy‐5‐methoxy‐3,9,13‐trimethyl‐6‐(1‐methylethenyl)‐10‐oxo‐15‐oxatricyclo[9.3.1.0 1,11 ]pentadeca‐2,7‐dien‐4‐yl (2 Z )‐2‐methylbut‐2‐enoate; 3 ) was found to be significantly active, with an IC 50 value of 36.3 μg/ml.
