โฆ Synopsis
+tAltholactone 1, an antitumor agent isolated from GoniothaZamus species, has been synthesized starting from L-glyceraldehyde acetonide. (+I-Altholactone 1 from an unknown PoZyathea species has a novel phenyltetrahydrofurano-2pyrone structure rare for natural compounds .I It turned out to be identical with goniothalenol from the stem bark of Goniothalamus giganteus Annonaceae, which displays cytotoxicity in vitro (BS, 9K.B) and inhibitory activity in vivo against P 388 leukemia.2 Several bioactive 2-pyrones from
