Abstract

Chemical investigation of the stems of Uvaria dac yielded four new highly oxygenated cyclohexene derivatives named uvaridacols E-H (1-4). Their structures were established through NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopic analysis. Uvaridacols E (1), F (2), and H (4) displayed weak preferential cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cells under nutrition-deprived conditions in a concentration-dependent manner, without causing toxicity in normal nutrient-rich conditions.
