Diepoxyrollin and Diepomuricanin B: Two New Diepoxyacetogenins from Rollinia membranacea Seeds
Diepoxyrollin (1) and diepomuricanin B (2), two new Annonaceous acetogenins were isolated from the cytotoxic MeOH extract of the seeds of Colombian Rollinia membranacea. Five others known acetogenins were also isolated, dieporeticanin 1, dieporeticanin 2, diepomuricanin A, rollinone, and sylvaticin. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data. Compounds 1 and 2 belong to the rare type of diepoxyacetogenins, which are probably precursors of the mono-tetrahydrofuran acetogenins.
Tripoxyrollin, a New Epoxy Acetogenin from the Seeds ofRollinia membranacea1
Abstract A new epoxy acetogenin, tripoxyrollin (1), has been isolated from the seeds of the Colombian Annonaceae, Rollinia membranacea. Its structure was elucidated on the basis of spectral data. Biomimetic synthesis of isodesacetyluvaricin (2) from tripoxyrollin (1) suggests its key role in the biogenesis of the adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuran acetogenins.
