Two new diterpenoids, margosone and margosolone, have been isolated from the stem bark of Azadirachta indica A. Juss (neem) and their structures established as 12,13-dihydroxy-14-isoporpylpodocarpa-8,11,13-trien-7-one and 13-hydroxy-12-methoxypodocarpa-8,11,13-trien-7-one, respectively, through chemical and spectroscopic studies.
