15-Deacetylsergeolide, a Potent Antileukemic Quassinoid From Picrolemma pseudocoffea

Abstract
Investigation of the leaf extract of P. pseudocoffea afforded a new antineoplastic quassinoid, 15-deacetylsergeolide (3), and 2 known quassinoids, isobruceine B and sergeolide (2). The structure of 3, which displayed strong antileukemic activity in the P-388 test system, was established through the interpretation of spectral data and chemical correlation to 2.
