description

Abstract From the cytotoxic ethanol extract of Annona glabra seeds, a new mono-tetrahydrofuranic (mono-THF) acetogenin, glabranin, as well as pair of 22-epimer bis-THF acetogenins, were isolated by semipreparative HPLC. Four known mono-THF acetogenins with an identical threo/trans/threo relative configuration, annonacin, annonacinone, corossolin and corossolone, were found to be potent inhibitors of complex I of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
