A novel quassinoid glucoside picrasinoside-A was isolated from Picrasma ailanthoides PLANCHON and the structure was established from spectral data, chemical transformations into picrasin B and quassin, and enzyme hydrolysis.The aglycon picrasin B showed a significant clastogenic activity in cell cultures of Don lung cells of Chinese hamster.

A partial synthesis of (-)-shinjulactone H (3) from (+)-quassin (1) required the selective manipulation of two similar O-methyldiosphenol groups.Protection of the δ-lactone in 1 as an ortho ester, selective reduction of the C-1 carbonyl group, hydrolysis of the resulting enol ether in the A ring, and catalytic hydrogenation of the O-methyldiosphenol in the C ring delivered an intermediate possessing an α-ketol group in the A ring and an α-methoxy ketone group in the C ring.Demethylation and concomitant α-ketol tautomerization in the A ring delivered (-)-shinjulactone H (3).
AN ENANTIOSELECTIVE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (+)-PICRASIN B1

, p. 5989 - 5992 (2007/10/02)
An enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-picrasin B (1) from the R-(-)-enantiomer of the Wieland-Miescher ketone (4) employed an A-AB-ABC-ABCD sequence to assemble the tetracyclic skeleton and relied upon a free radical cyclization of an α-bromoacetal to an enone in order to introduce the D ring and a manganese(III) acetate oxidation of a tricyclic enone intermediate in order to introduce the C-11 oxygen substituent.
