Abstract

Four phenylpropanoids and a thapsigargin analogue have been isolated from the fruits of Thapsia garganica. A spectroscopic method for elucidating the relative stereochemistry at the two pairs of stereogenic centers in the phenylpropanoids has been developed. The phenylpropanoids were found to be potent cytotoxins.
