title: Deoxypreussomerins from Jatropha curcas: are they also plant metabolites?
abstract: Three deoxypreussomerins, palmarumycins CP1, JC1 and JC2, have been isolated from a collection of the stems of Jatropha curcas. The second and third compounds are antibacterial constituents which were characterized from spectral evidence. The X-ray crystallographic structure of palmarumycin JC1 was also studied. Deoxypreussomerins have been obtained here from a plant source in appreciable quantities.
