Ohioensins A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), containing the novel polycyclic skeleton of (7bbeta,12balpha,14calpha)-7b,12b,13,14c-tetrahydro-14H-benzo[c]naphtho[2,1,8-mna]xanthen-14-one, have been isolated from the moss Polytrichum ohioense (Polytrichaceae) following bioassay-directed fractionation. The structures and relative stereochemistry of ohioensins were established on the basis of spectral analysis (UV, IR, MS, 2D NMR, and CD), chemical correlation, and X-ray diffraction. These compounds showed cytotoxicity against 9PS murine leukemia and the human tumor cell lines A-549 lung carcinoma, MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma, and HT-29 colon adenocarcinoma. The proposed biogenetic pathway to ohioensins involves o-hydroxycinnamate and hydroxylated phenanthrenes as the intermediates.
