Abstract | ||
Four diterpenes, taxodone, taxodione, 11-hydroxymontbretol, and ferruginol, were isolated from Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich seeds. Taxodone and taxodione were isolated before from the same source and have been reported to possess antitumor activity. 11-Hydroxymontbretol and ferruginol were isolated for the first time here from the genus Taxodium. The structures of the isolated compds. was detd. through intensive spectral anal. HIV-1 PR inhibitory activity for the four compds. showed that only taxodione had a potent effect in 0.1 mM concn. | ||
