Abstract
Three new 24,28-dinorolean-3-one derivatives, the remangilones A-C (1-3), w ere isolated from the dried leaves of Physena madagascariensis using a huma n mammary carcinoma cell line to guide the isolation. The structures of 1-3 were deduced primarily from NMR studies. Compounds 1 and 3, remangilones A and C, respectively, were found to be cytotoxic against two human breast c ancer cell lines and induced apoptosis at concentrations of 2.3 mu M.
