Abstract

A novel acetogenin, joolanin ( 1), along with eight known acetogenins, squamocin ( 2), desacetyluvaricin ( 3), chamuvarinin ( 4), tripoxyrollin ( 5), diepoxyrollin ( 6), dieporeticanin-1 ( 7), dieporeticanin-2 ( 8) and dieporeticenin ( 9) were isolated from the seeds of Uvaria chamae (Annonaceae). Compound 1, the first adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuranic ring acetogenin bearing a ketone group at C-5, shows significant cytotoxicity towards the KB 3 - 1 cell line (IC (50) = 0.4 nM).
