摘要

A new quassinoid, designated 2'-(R)-O-acetylglaucarubinone (1), and seven known quassinoids (2-8) were isolated, using bioactivity-guided separation, from the bark of Odyendyea gabonensis (Pierre) Engler [syn. Quassia gabonensis Pierre]. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic analysis and by semisynthesis from glaucarubolone. Complete (1)H and (13)C NMR assignments of compounds 1-8 were also established from detailed analysis of two-dimensional NMR spectra, and the reported configurations in odyendene (7) and odyendane (8) were corrected. Compound 1 showed potent cytotoxicity against multiple cancer cell lines. Further investigation using various types of breast and ovarian cancer cell lines suggested that 1 does not target the estrogen receptor or progesterone receptor. When tested against mammary epithelial proliferation in vivo using a Brcal/p53-deficient mice model, 1 also caused significant reduction in mammary duct branching.
