title: Aromin-A, an Annonaceous acetogenin from Annona cherimola.
abstract: Chromatographic fractionation of a MeOH extract from the stems of Annona cherimola led to the isolation of a new non-adjacent, bis-THF ring acetogenin (one THF ring being at C-4 and the other at C-16), aromin-A (1) along with the known cytotoxic acetogenin squamocin (2). The structures of these isolates were established by means of mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques.
