Three new bicyclic taxane diterpenoids from the needles of Japanese yew, Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc.
Three new bicyclic taxane diterpenes were isolated from the needles of the Japanese yew, Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc. Their structures were established to be 7,9,10,13-tetraacetoxy-5-cinnamoyloxy-4-hydroxy-methyl-8,12,15,15- tetramethyl-bicyclo[9.3.1] pentadeca-3,8,11-trien-2-ol (2,20-dideacetyl taxuspine X), 7,9,10,13,20-pentaacetoxy-5-cinnamoyloxy-8,12,15,15-tetramethyl bicyclo[9.3.1] pentadeca-3,8,11-trien-2-ol (2-deacetyl taxuspine X), and 9,10,13,20-tetraacetoxy-5-cinnamoyloxy-8,12,15,15-tetramethyl-bicyclo[9.3.1] pentadeca-3,8,11-trien-2,7-diol (2,7-dideacetyl taxuspine X) with the aid of spectroscopic techniques and by comparing with taxuspine X.
