Abstract

A novel acetogenin, joolanin (1), along with eight known acetogenins, squamocin (2), desacetyluvaricin (3), chamuvarinin (4), tripoxyrollin (5), diepoxyrollin (6), dieporeticanin-1 (7), dieporeticanin-2 (8) and dieporeticenin (9) were isolated from the seeds of Uvaria chamae (Annonaceae). Compound 1, the first adjacent bis-tetrahydrofuranic ring acetogenin bearing a ketone group at C-5, shows significant cytotoxicity towards the KB 3 - 1 cell line (IC50 = 0.4 nM).
