Abstract:
Two new taxoids, 2,20-O-diacetyltaxumairol N (1) and 14beta-hydroxy-10-deacetyl-2-O-debenzoylbacatin III (2), were isolated from the needles and stems of Taxus chinensis. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR-spectral analysis. Compound 1 showed weak cytotoxicity activity against T-24 (IC50 = 34 microg/ml) and QGY-7701 (IC50 = 22 microg/ml) cancer lines. Compound 2 showed no obvious cytotoxicity activity against T-24 (IC50 > 100 microg/ml) and QGY-7701 (IC50 > 100 microg/ml) cancer lines.
