Maquiroside A [1], a new cardiac glycoside, was isolated from the Peruvian plant Maquira calophylla. The structure was established using spectroscopic methods, and the aglycone was found to be cannogenol. The sugar portion was identified as D-cymarose. Maquiroside A [1] demonstrated activity against the KB cell culture.In accord with our continuing interest in plant-derived natural products with potential chemotherapeutic value, we have investigated extracts of Maquira calophylla (P. & E.) CC Berg (Moraceae) for compounds that exhibit possible antineoplastic ac-tivity. Although many members of the Moraceae family have been examined phy tochemically, there were no published examinations of Maquira species prior to our investigations. Original extracts of M. calophylla exhibited activity in vivo against the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia in miceand cytotoxicity against the KB cell culture sys-tem (1). Fractionation of ethanolic extracts of the stem bark of M. calophylla, guided by bioassays against the KB cell culture, resulted in the isolation of three coumarins (marmesin, oxypeucedanin hydrate, and pranferol) from non-cytotoxic fractions (2). However, isolation and characterization of the cytotoxic constituents of the stem bark were made difficult by the polarity of the constituents and the propensity of the major components to decompose. We now report the isolation and structure elucidation of the major cytotoxic constituent of. calophylla, maquiroside A [1], a new cardiac glycoside.
