Abstract
Four new terpenoids, metaseglyptorin A (1), metasequoic acid C (2), 12α-hydroxy-8,15-isopimaradien-18-oic acid (3), and (-)-acora-2,4(14),8-trien-15-oic acid (4), and three new norlignans, metasequirins D-F (5-7), were isolated from Metasequoia glyptostroboides, together with 15 known compounds. Structures of the new compounds were determined by analysis of their spectroscopic data, and the absolute configuration of 7 was established by the modified Mosher method. All of the compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines.
