Abstract

Phainanolide A (1), a highly modified triterpenoid incorporating an unprecedented 6/9/6 heterotricyclic system and a highly oxygenated 5,5-spirocyclic ketal lactone, along with three new triterpenoids 2-4 were isolated from Phyllanthus hainanensis. Their structures were completely elucidated by a combination of diverse methods including 2D NMR, quantum chemical NMR and ECD calculations, and NMR data analogy with model compounds. Compounds 1-4 exhibited both remarkable cytotoxic and immunosuppressive activities.
