Abstract
Three withaphysalins, rel-(17S,20R,22R)-5 beta,6 beta:18,20-diepoxy-4 beta-hydroxy-1,18-dioxowitha-2,24-dienolide(withaphysalin M) (1), rel-(17S,20R,22R)-5 beta,6 beta:18,20-diepoxy-4 beta-hydroxy-18-ethoxy-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide (withaphysalin F ethyl ether, withaphysalin O) (2), and rel-(17S,20R,22R)-5 beta,6 beta:18,20-diepoxy-4 beta-hydroxy-1,18-dioxowitha-24-enolide (withaphysalin N) (3), were isolated from the leaves of Acnistus arborescens. The structures were deduced from 1D ((1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, DEPT-(13)C NMR) and 2D (COSY, HMQC, HMBC) NMR analysis and the relative stereochemical assignments based on 1D NOESY correlations and analysis of coupling constants. Compounds 1 and 2 displayed potent cytotoxic activity against a panel of human cancer cell lines.
