Activity-directed fractionation of the stem bark of Annona squamosa, monitoring with brine shrimp lethality, led to the isolation of the highly bioactive acetogenins bullatacin [1] and bullatacinone [2], thus demonstrating a new abundant plant source for these potent compounds. A new
Screening of crude extracts of the bark of Annona bullata showed cytotoxic and pesticidal activities. By monitoring with brine-shrimp lethality, two novel, extremely potent acetogenins, bullatacin [1] and bullatacinone [2], were isolated. Spectral and chemical methods identified bullatacin as a
Chromatography of an ethyl acetate extract of seeds of Annona reticulata led to the isolation of a new cytotoxic gamma-lactone acetogenin, cis-/trans-isomurisolenin, along with six known cytotoxic acetogenins, annoreticuin, annoreticuin-9-one, bullatacin, squamocin, cis-/trans-bullatacinone and
From Annona bullata, three more pairs of new ketolactone Annonaceous acetogenins were isolated by bioactivity-directed isolation. They are hydroxylated adjacent bistetrahydrofuran (THF) acetogenins and are named (2,4-cis and trans)-32-hydroxybullatacinone (1 and 2), (2,4-cis and
In our continuing activity-directed search for new antitumor compounds, using brine shrimp lethality (BST), mixtures of three additional pairs (1-6) of bis-THF ketolactone acetogenins were isolated from the ethanol extract of the bark of Annona bullata Rich. (Annonaceae). Compared with (2,4-cis and
