title: Studies on bioactive components from Chinese medicinal plants.
abstract: Several novel bioactive components isolated from Chinese medicinal plants will be presented. These include novel maytansinoid tumor inhibitors, some new ent-kaurane and rosane diterpenoids from Mallotus anomalus Meer et Chun (Euphorbiaceae), as well as novel insecticide, stemona alkaloids from Stemona parviflora C. H. Wright (Stemonaceae). Both are native plants of Hainan island, China. 2D NMR techniques such as mono and hetero-COSY, NOESY, COLOC as well as 1H-NMR line broadening effect were utilized for structure elucidation. The separation techniques, structure elucidations and bioassay results will be reported.
