Abstract
EBC-219 (4), isolated from Croton insularis (Baill), was established by spectroscopic and DFT methods as the first member of a new diterpene skeletal class, uniquely defined by the presence of a bicyclo[10.2.1] bridgehead olefin. The proposed biogenetic pathway to 4 from the co-isolated natural products EBC-131 (1), EBC-180 (2) and EBC-181 (3) is highly likely. EBC-180 (2) and EBC-181 (3) showed moderate to strong cytotoxic activity against various cancer cell lines.
