Cis-bullatencin, a linear acetogenin from roots of Uvaria chamae

Nat Prod Lett. 2002 Oct;16(5):315-21. doi: 10.1080/10575630290026437.

Abstract

A novel acetogenin, cis-bullatencin, was isolated by successive chromatography of a cyclohexane extract of Uvaria chamae P. Beauv. roots. The structure was elucidated by a combination of chemical and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS). Eight known mono-THF acetogenins--bullatencin, annotemoyin-1, solamin, uvariamicin-I, -II, -III, cis-reticulatacin and cis-uvariamicin-I--were also obtained.
