Two Novel Taxane Diterpenoids From the Needles of Japanese Yew, Taxus Cuspidata

Abstract

Two novel taxane diterpenoids were isolated from the needles of Japanese yew, Taxus cuspidata, and their structures were determined to be 1β-hydroxy-7β-acetoxytaxinine (1) and 1β,7β-dihydroxytaxinine (2) on the basis of spectral analyses including 2D-NMR studies.
