Three New Quassinoid Derivatives and Related Compounds as Antitumor Promoters fromBrucea javanica
摘要:
Three new quassinoid derivatives [desmethyl-brusatol (1), desmethyl- bruceantinoside A (2), and butyl ester (3) of bruceoside D (6)] were isolated from the extract of Brucea javanica. Their structures were elucidated by spectral evidence and chemical transformation to or from known compounds. The three new quassinoid derivatives and related compounds have shown inhibitory effects against TPA-induced Epstein–Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) activation.
There are provided two synthetic routes to the known potent anti-leukemic quassinoid bruceantin from the more readily available bruceoside-A and -B. Certain of the intermediate compounds produced in the synthetic sequence as well as bruceantin itself have been shown to possess anti-malarial properties.
