Oxygenated Cyclohexene Derivatives and Other Constituents from the Roots of Monanthotaxis trichocarpa.

ABSTRACT: Three new oxygenated cyclohexene derivatives, trichocarpeols A (1), B (2), and C (3), along with nine known secondary metabolites, were isolated from the methanolic root extract of Monanthotaxis trichocarpa. They were identified by NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses, and the structure of trichocarpeol A (1) was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Out of the 12 isolated natural products, uvaretin (4) showed activity against the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis with a MIC value of 18 μM. None of the isolated metabolites was active against the Gram-negative Escherichia coli at a ∼5 mM (2000 μg/mL) concentration. Whereas 4 showed cytotoxicity at EC₅₀ 10.2 μM against the MCF-7 human brea
