✦ Synopsis
The proton and carbon spectra for the fertility-regulating agent, pseudolaric acid B (l), have been assigned using a combination of one-and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic techniques. NOE difference measurements revealed an unexpected conformation of the molecule, which could only be explained by a strained conformation of the six-membered lactooe ring. Molecular forcefield calculations confirmed the presence of a lowsnergy conformer having the lactone ring in a half-planar conformation. The solution conformation is closely related to the solid-state conformation. Evaluation in a broad range of human cell lines established that 1 is a general cytotoxic agent.
