Euglobal-IIIa, a novel acylphloroglucinol-sesquiterpene derivative from Eucalyptus robusta: absolute structure and cytotoxicity

Natural Products and Bioprospecting volume 1, pages 101–103 (2011)Cite this article

Abstract

Euglobal-IIIa (1), a novel acylphloroglucinol-sesquiterpene derivative, and a known analogue, have been isolated from leaves of Eucalyptus robusta. The structures was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data and by comparison with data reported in literature, while the absolute configuration of 1 was determined by the X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 exhibited comparable cytotoxicity with that of cisplatin against five human cancer cell lines HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7, and SW480 with IC50 values of 15.7, 15.5, 17.6, 14.3, and 21.8 µM, respectively.
