Abstract
Mediataxanes A–C (1–3), three unusual 4-oxo-20-nor-taxanes with 6/8/6 ring system were isolated from Taxus × media cell cultures. Their structures were determined by extensive spectroscopic data, and the absolute configurations were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis (1 and 2) and NMR data comparison (3). Biological assay revealed that 1 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against gastric carcinoma BGC823 and cervical cancer HeLa cells. In addition, a plausible mechanism for the oxidative cleavage of 4(20)-exocyclic-double bond and the formation of 4-carbonyl group in 1–3 is proposed.
