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.
