Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A novel daphnane-type diterpene, genkwanin I (1), and a novel natural product, orthobenzoate 2 (2), were isolated from the flower bud of Daphne genkwa. The structures of the two compounds were elucidated by spectral techniques, viz.1D, 2D NMR spectra and HR-ESI-MS. Genkwanin I showed inhibitory activity against human promyelocytic HL-60 cells at an IC50 level of 11.74 μM.
