“…Comparison of the 1 H and 13 C NMR data of 1 with those of cytochalasin Z 7 showed the presence of the same 10-phenylsubstituted perhydroisoindol-1-one skeleton. Compound 1 differed from cytochalasin Z 7 only in the macrocyclic ring, where the R,βunsaturated ester system [C-19 (157.7, CH), C-20 (123.3, CH), C-21 (167.7, qC)] that is present in the 13 C NMR spectrum of cytochalasin Z 7 was missing, and chemical shifts of C-9 (δ C 79.4 qC) and C-18 (δ C 68.8 CH) in 1 were upfield and downfield, respectively, which suggested that two hydroxyl groups were located on C-9 and C-18 and the 12-membered macrocyclic ring in cytochalasin Z 7 was changed to an open chain in 1, which was consistent with the molecular formula. The positions of the substituents in the open chain were confirmed as occurring at C-16 (methyl) and C-17 and C-18 (two hydroxyls) using the HMBC spectrum, which showed correlations from CH 3 -19 (1.19 ppm, d) to the two oxygenated methine sp 3 carbons C-17 (78.4 ppm, CH) and C-18 (68.8 ppm, CH) and correlations from CH 3 -20 (0.86 ppm, d) to C-15 (38.5 ppm, CH 2 ), C-16 (35.1 ppm, CH), and C-17.…”
