Abstract

In further investigation on the EtOH extract of the bark of Annona bullata, two novel Annonaceous acetogenins, C-12,15-cis-bullatanocin (1) and C-12,15-cis-bullatalicin (2), were successfully separated by hplc from fractions in which they were mixed with bullatanocin (7) and bullatalicin (8), their respective C-12/15-trans diastereomers. Their relative stereochemistries between the two THF rings were determined through preparations of their respective 16,19-formaldehyde acetal derivatives (1a and 2a). The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were resolved by analyses of the 1H nmr data of the (S)- and (R)-Mosher ester derivatives (1b,1c and 2b,2c) of 1a and 2a. Compounds (1) and (2) are the first examples of C-12/15-cis non-adjacent bis-THF Annonaceous acetogenins and showed potent bioactivities, comparable to those of 7 and 8, with notable cytotoxic selectivities among six human solid tumor cell lines.
