The isolation of two taxanes from Taxus brevifolia Nutt. is described, together with the isolation of two acetylated taxol derivatives from an acetylated fraction from the same plant. The compounds were identified on the basis of their spectroscopic properties as taxa-4(20),11-diene-2 alpha, 5 alpha, 7 beta, 9 alpha, 10 beta, 13 alpha-hexaol 2,7,9,10,13-pentaacetate (1) (decinnamoyltaxinine J), 10-deacetylbaccatin III (2), taxol 2',7-diacetate (3), and 10-deacetyltaxol 2',7-diacetate (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
