Abstract
Nine taxoids including 1-dehydroxybaccatin VI (1), baccatin VI (2), 1-dehydroxybaccatin IV (3), 5α,7β,9α,10β,13α-pentaacetoxy-taxa-4(20),11-diene (4), 2-deacetoxydecinnamoyl taxinine J (5), 2-deacetoxytaxinine J (6), taxinine J (7), 10-deacetyltaxol C (8) and 10-deacetyltaxol (9) were isolated from the ethanolic extract of the roots of Formosan Taxus mairei. Their structures were established primarily on the basis of NMR studies. Biological studies revealed that compounds 8 and 9 exhibited potent cytotoxicities against human KB-16, A-549 and HT-29 tumor cells.
