摘要: Epoxygoniolide-1 (1), possessing spiroepoxide lactone, enal, and masked dialdehyde functionalities, has been characterized from the conspicuously patterned mollusc Goniobranchus splendidus. Its relative configuration was investigated by spectroscopic analyses, molecular modeling, density functional theory calculations. The biosynthesis of 1 may involve rearrangement a diterpene framework, providing precursor to cometabolite gonioline (2), followed C–C bond cleavage (via Grob or P450 mechanism). Moderate cytotoxicity NCIH-460, SW60, HepG2 cancer cells observed for norditerpene 1.
