Abstract
Dysoxylentin A (1), the first 21-nortriterpenoid bearing a 2-(propan-2-ylidenyl)furan-3(2H)-one functional group was isolated from the stem of Dysoxylum lenticellatum. Its structure was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. A plausible biosynthetic pathway was postulated. Dysoxylentin A exhibited selective cytotoxicity against HL-60 tumor cell line.
