From the cytotoxic AcOEt extract of the fruits of Myristica maingayi, a Myristicaceae, five new acylphenols (promalabaricones B and C, maingayic acids B and C, and maingayone) were isolated, together with the known malabaricones A-C. The structures were determined from spectral analysis, including mass spectrometry and 2D NMR. The cytotoxicity of the new compounds and that of malabaricones was assessed against KB cells. A biosynthetic pathway for malabaricones, via the corresponding promalabaricones as precursors, is suggested. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

The malabaricones A-D belong to the class of diarylnonanoids isolated from the Myristicaceae family of plants. Although malabaricone C displayed various interesting biological activities, its isolation remains tedious due to its close chemical similarity to malabaricones A, B, and D. Therefore, development of an efficient synthesis route has become essential to cater to the need of large amounts of malabaricone C for its pharmacological profiling. So far there is only one report of the synthesis of malabaricone C through a lengthy sequence of reactions. We have developed an efficient and short route for the syntheses of malabaricones B and C, which will also provide a convenient access to all other members of the malabaricone family. Synthesis of an important building block, -aryl heptyl bromide, employed in the synthesis was realized by adopting a cross-metathesis reaction as the key step.
