Abstract

Garsubelone A (1), the first dimeric polycyclic polyprenylated acylphloroglucinols type metabolite featuring a complicated 6/6/6/6/6/6/6 heptacyclic architecture containing 10 stereogenic centers, was isolated from Garcinia subelliptica. Biogenetically, this compound was constructed by the plausible monomeric precursor, garsubelone B (2) and secohyperforin, via a key Diels-Alder cycloaddition to form an unique 2-oxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane core. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined by comprehensive spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques. The cytotoxic activities of these isolates were also evaluated.
