Abstract-Three new norditerpene dilactones, 2,3-dehydro-16-hydroxynagilactone F, nagilactone I and ldhydroxynagilactone E were isolated from the root bark of Podocarpus nugi. Their structures were established on the basis of the spectroscopic analyses.
INTRODUCTION Many
biologically
active
norditerpene
dilactones
have
been isolated from various species of Podocarpus plants (Podocarpaceae) [14]. In particular, seeds and root bark of P. nagi were found to be rich sources of the dilactones. Norditerpene dilactones possess various biological activities such as anti-tumour [S, 61, plant growth regulatory [7, S] and insecticidal [9, lo] activities, and antifeedant activity against herbivorous animals [ll]. In our continuing search for bioactive substances from P. nagi, three new norditerpene dilactones were isolated. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All three new components, compound 1-3, showed 19 skeletal carbon signals in their “CNMR spectra (Table l), including those of two types of lactone carbonyl carbons at 6 163-164 and 177-182. The compounds 1 and 2 give a characteristic electronic transition at 262-263 nm due to a dienolide system on the B/C ring (type C
dilactones) Cl], and compound 3 showed a transition at 220 nm, typical for a epoxyenolide system (type B dilactones) [l].

Compound 1 has a molecular formula C,,H,,O, by high resolution mass spectrometry. The ‘HNMR spectrum showed typical splitting modes of the y-lactone ring protons over the A/B ring system (5-H at 6 1.95 and 6-H at 65.06) and two olefinic protons (7-H at 66.51 and 11-H at 65.92) and a carbinyl proton (14-H at 65.15) of the dienolide system on B/C ring with a-oriented side chain at C-14 [ll]. Two other olefinic protons at 65.8-5.9, coupled to each other, indicate an additional double bond on the ring A. Two carbinyl protons (at 63.93 and 4.14) suggest the presence of a primary carbinol group, which should be placed on the C-14 side chain (at C-16). The whole structure of compound 1 was finally derived by careful comparison of its 13CNMR data with those of previously known dilactones [12] (Table 1). The position of the ring A double bond (A’*‘) and partial structure of the C-14 side chain are supported by comparison with 16hydroxypodolide (6) [13]. The dienolide system on the B/C ring is confirmed from comparison with nagilactone F (4) [14] and 3-hydroxynagilactone F (5) [15]. Thus, compound 1 is 2,3-dehydro-16-hydroxynagilactone F. Compound 2 has a molecular formula C2,,Hz40, (HRMS). The presence of a methoxycarbonyl group is shown by a three-proton singlet at 63.63 and an additional carbonyl carbon at 6 172.6. A three-proton doublet at 6 1.46 (H,-17) indicates that the methoxycarbonyl group is located at the C-15 position. A secondary

hydroxyl group is placed at the 2a-position on the ring A, as the signal of the corresponding carbinyl proton (axial) appeared at 64.28 as a very broad signal ( W1,2= 28 Hz). The 13C NMR data also support the 2-hydroxy structure, because the chemical shifts of the ring A carbons are consistent with those of I-deoxy-2~hydroxynagilactone A (7) [ 161. The dienolide system on the B/C-rings is also shown by correlation with the dilactones 4 and 5. Therefore, the structure of compound 2 is assigned as the methyl ester of 2cr-hydroxynagilactone F 16-oic acid and it is named as nagilactone 1. Compound 3, C,9H2407, showed signals of two types of alcoholic carbinyl protons (63.84, lH, and 64.08 and 4.31, each 1H: AB part of an ABX system). The 13C NMR spectral properties are very similar to those of nagilactone E (8) [14] (for ring system) and 16-hydroxypodolide (6) (for C-14 side chain). Therefore, the structure of 16hydroxynagilactone E is assigned as compound 3. The configuration at C-15 of the three compounds remains undetermined.

EXPERIMENTAL General. Mps: uncorr. UV spectra were recorded in MeOH. ‘H and ‘%NMR spectra were measured in CDCI, or pyridined, with TMS as int. standard at 400 or 100 MHz (‘H) and 100 or 25 MHz (I%), respectively. Mass spectra were determined by a JEOL D-300 spectrometer with El mode at 30 eV. Separation of compounds. The root bark of Podocarpus nagi (Thunberg) Pilger was collected at Nara, Japan. The mother liquor of the nagilactones remaining from our previous work was re-chromatographed repeatedly on a silica gel (4&63 pm) column, eluted with CHCl,-Me,CO (4: 1) and (3: I), to give 271 mg 1, 412 mg 2 and 127 mg 3.
