Abstract

Eleven pimarane-type diterpenoids were isolated from the tubers of Icacina oliviformis, including three new compounds, icacinlactone M (9), icacinlactone H 2-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (10), and icacinlactone N 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (11), together with an artifact of acrenol (8). Among the known structures, icacinlactone A (2), icacinlactone B (3), icacinlactone H (4), 12-hydroxyicacinlactone A (5), 14α-methoxyhumirianthol (6), and annonalide (7) are reported from I. oliviformis for the first time, whereas icacinol (1) has previously been found in this plant. Icacinol, 14α-methoxyhumirianthol, and annonalide displayed moderate cytotoxic activity in a panel of human cancer cell lines.
