Abstract

Five new Diterpenoids including two Cephalotaxus troponoids (1 and 2), two 17-nor-cephalotane-type Diterpenoids (3 and 4), and an abietane-type diterpenoid (5), two new Lignans (6 and 7), and a new trisnorneoligan (8) along with eight known compounds were identified from the twigs and leaves of Cephalotaxus fortunei. The structure of 11-hydroxyhainanolidol was revised as 10-hydroxyhainanolidol (9) by X-ray crystallographic data. Compounds 3 and 4 are the first examples of 17-nor-cephalotane-type Diterpenoids that are likely the biosynthesis precursors of the co-occurring troponoids (e.g., 1, 2, and 9). Compound 1 exhibited cytotoxic activities against HL-60 and A-549 cells with IC50 values of 0.77 ± 0.05 and 1.129 ± 0.057 μM, respectively.
