A novel cyclopentene amide has been isolated from the bark of the Camerooni
an rainforest tree Lindackeria dentata. The structure elucidation of this m
etabolite was carried out by data comparison with the known cyclopentene ni
trile glycoside gynocardin and by extensive one and two dimensional NMR stu
dies. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
