A new taxane glycoside was isolated from a methanol extract of the needles of Taxus cuspidata. The structure was established as 2a,9a,10b-triacetoxytaxa-4(20),11-dien-13-one- 5a-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (1) on the basis of 1D-and 2D NMR and high-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectral analyses.

โฆ Synopsis
Complete *I I and k spectral assignmenrs by 2D NMFI mcam m presenled for a new cyclodepsipqMe namely didcmnin H. ixthtcd fmm 7iididpnvlum ryunophmm~ (Ilkkmnidm). Didemnins arc a &ss of dclx+ptidcs isolated from Caribbean tunicates of the I)ldemnidac family showing antitumor* and zmtiviral2 pprtics and a polent immunosuppressive activityx. Didemnin B, the most prominent mcmbcr of this pcptidic group, was lirsl isolated by Rinehart and his ~wwt~rkers in 19814, then later by Van dcr Helms and Fcnical6 from Trididemnum solidum and by GuyotT and us8 from Trididemnum cyanophorum (an ascidian living in symbiotic association with an unicellular alga -Cyanqhyta -Synechocys~is trididemni )9. This family of cyclodcpsipcptides has numerous mcmbcrs such as didcmnins A, C . D, E and notdidcmnins 4.1". More rcccnlly, Lu)ntinucd examination pmvidcd three new congcncrs from R: H IMemuin B Structures of didemnhw B, H, E and D. Trididemnum solidum : didemnins G, X, Y 1 I-I2 and, from [email protected] albicuns (Polyclinidae), a Mediterranean tunicatc, dehydmdidcmnin B -1 T~ Id. The structural elucidaticm of most of these compounds was mainly based on HRFAB mass spcctrometry. We report hcrc the structural elucidation of didcmnin H and the crmpletc tH and t3C NMR spectral assignments by means of a combination of mass spcctromctry and one and two-dimensional NMR cxpcrimcnts.
