The first bicyclic taxanes isolated in the needles of the Canadian yew were named canadensene 1 and 5-epi-canadensene 2. Four additional analogues (3–6), isolated previously in Taxus chinensis and Taxus mairei, and a new natural 5-epi-canadensene analog 7 with a C-20-cinnamoyl group, were characterized for the first time in the needles of Taxus canadensis. A bicyclic derivative 8 with a docetaxel side chain on C-20 was synthesized using 5-epi-canadensene 2 as starting material. The lack of bioactivities of these bicyclic analogues (tubulin polymerization and cytotoxicities against human cancer cell lines) is discussed.Key words: Taxus canadensis, Taxaceae, taxanes, natural products, semi-synthesis.

Three furan-containing scalarane sesterterpenoids (1–3) and a novel pyrrole-containing analog (4) were isolated from the sponge Scalarispongia species. Compound 3, reported in the literature as a synthetic derivative of furoscalarol 2, was for the first time isolated from a natural source. During the separation performed using a silica column in the presence of methanol, 16-methoxy derivatives (5, 6) were obtained from the unintended reaction of 2. The isolated natural products 3 and 4 and the artifact 5 showed moderate to high cytotoxicity against six human cancer cell lines, whereas compound 6, the C-16 epimer of 5, showed no cytotoxicity at a concentration of 60 μΜ.

AbstractAn indole alkaloid, 2-(5-hydroxy-1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxo-acetic acid (1) isolated for the first time from nature, in addition to the nine known compounds 5-hydroxy-1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (2), alocasin B (3), hyrtiosin B (4), α-monopalmitin (5), 1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(2S, 3R, 4E, 8Z)-2-[(2(R)-hydroctadecanoyl) amido]-4,8-octadecadiene-1,3-diol (6), 3-epi-betulinic acid (7), 3-epi-ursolic acid (8),β-sitosterol (9) andβ-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucoside (10) were isolated from the rhizomes ofAlocasia macrorrhiza(Araceae). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. Of these compounds,6exhibited the strongest cytotoxicity against the four tested human cancer cell lines (IC50of about 10 µM against Hep-2 larynx cancer cells).

To obtain diterpene glycosides from an aqueous extract of the aerial parts of Isodon henryi and further investigate their cytotoxicities, in this study, a total of seven compounds were isolated, including six ent-kaurane diterpene glycosides (1–6) and one diterpene aglycon (7). Among the seven ent-kaurane diterpenes obtained, four were novel compounds, including ent-7,20-epoxy- kaur-16-en-1α,6β,7β,15β-tetrahydroxyl-11-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (1), ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en- 6β,7β,14β,15β-tetrahydroxyl-1-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en-6β,7β,15β- trihydroxyl-1-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (3), and ent-7,20-epoxy-kaur-16-en-7β,11β,14α,15β-tetrahydr- oxyl-6-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (4), and three were isolated from this plant for the first time (5–7). Their structures were elucidated by utilizing spectroscopic methods and electronic circular dichroism analyses. Furthermore, the cytotoxicities of all seven compounds were investigated in four human cancer cell lines, including A2780, BGC-823, HCT-116, and HepG2. The IC50 values of these diterpenes ranged from 0.18 to 2.44 mM in the tested cell lines. In addition, the structure–cytotoxicity relationship of diterpene glycosides was also evaluated to study the effect of glycosylation on the cytotoxicity of diterpene compounds.

Phytochemical investigation of Fissistigma cupreonitens (Annonaceae) led to the isolation of 34 compounds. The chemical structures of all compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. Among the isolates, compounds 20–27 and 31–34 were reported from this genus for the first time. From the results of the cytotoxicity assay against three human cancer cell lines (NCI-H226, NPC-TW01, and Jurkat E6–1), oxoaporphine compounds oxoxylopine (1), oxocrebanine (3), kuafumine (4) and lysicamine (5), and the flavonoid adunctin E (26) displayed significant cytotoxicity against NCI-H226 cell line, with IC50 values of 8.45, 8.10, 8.54, 12.83 and 12.00 μM, respectively, in comparison with the standard drug, cisplatin with IC50 of 13.37 μM.

Two new compounds, dictyohydroperoxide 1 and hydroperoxyacetoxycrenulide 2, (Scheme 1) containing hydroperoxyl groups rarely found in algal terpenoids were isolated from the Russian population of brown alga Dictyota dichotoma. The known compounds acetoxycrenulide 4 and squalene were also found in this algal species for the first time. Some of the isolated compounds showed moderate cytoxicity against human cancer cell lines.

Four 2,5-disubstituted pyrrole and two 2-disubstituted thiophene analogs of the natural products mycalazol 5 and mycalazal 2 have been prepared using the Stille coupling reaction. All four analogs displayed potent antiproliferating activity against several human cancer cell lines with IC50 values in the nanomolar range.
