J. Kobayashi et al., TAXUSPINES E-SIMILAR-TO-H AND TAXUSPINE-J, NEW TAXOIDS FROM THE JAPANESE YEW TAXUS-CUSPIDATA, Tetrahedron, 51(21), 1995, pp. 5971-5978
Five new taxoids, taxuspines E similar to H and J (1 similar to 5), ha
ve been isolated together with known taxoids (6 similar to 23) contain
ing a series of taxol-related compounds (15 similar to 20) from stems
and leaves of the Japanese yew Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc, and the
structures elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. The structur
es and cytotoxicity of these taxoids (1 similar to 23) are described.
