Résumé
The stem bark of Croton gratissimus (Euphorbiaceae) yielded four cembranolides, including the first reported example of a 2,12-cyclocembranolide, (+)-[1R*,2S*,7S*,8S*,12R*]-7,8-epoxy-2,12-cyclocembra-3E,10Z-dien-20,10-ol ide, whose structure was confirmed by means of single crystal X-ray analysis. This compound showed moderate activity against the PEO1 and PEO1TaxR ovarian cancer cell lines.
