Abstract

Both coriatone (1), a novel highly oxygenated picrotoxane-type sesquiterpene, and corianlactone (2), with an unprecedented sesquiterpene basic skeleton, named coriane, were isolated from Coriaria nepalensis Wall. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by analysis of their two-dimensional NMR data, and the structure of 2 was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed no remarkable inhibitory activity toward K562 cells. They are cytotoxic with IC50 > 50 μg/mL (cis-platinim: IC50 = 0.49 μg/mL).
