Abstract

Pseudolaric acid B was isolated from the root bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gordon, which has been used as an antifungal remedy in traditional Chinese medicine. It showed some antifungal, antifertility and cytotoxic properties along with activity against certain tumor cell lines that are resistant to many drugs. The key to the synthesis is a rhodium-mediated cycloaddition to form the hydroazulene ring system (A→C).
