title: Myrocin C, a new diterpene antitumor antibiotic from Myrothecium verrucaria. II. Physico-chemical properties and structure determination.
abstract: The structure of a new antitumor antibiotic, myrocin C, from a strain of Myrothecium verrucaria was characterized as a pentacyclic pimarane diterpene composed of a gamma-lactol group and a unique cyclopropane ring on the basis of its physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data as well as a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of its monoacetyl derivative.
