Taxane diterpenoids from the bark of Taxus yunnanensis

Phytochemistry. 2001 Sep;58(2):369-74. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(01)00218-7.

Abstract

Further investigation on the alcohol extract of the barks of Taxus yunnanensis led to the isolation of four taxoids, namely, 7beta-xylosyl-taxol D, taxuyunnanines P, Q and R, along with the known taxuyuntin G (2). Four are rearranged taxoids with an 11(15-->1)-abeotaxoid skeleton and an opened oxetane ring moiety. Structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical means.
