Abstract

An investigation of Thapsia garganica afforded a series of tetracyclic C-19 dilactones, whose production was dependent on the time and location of the collection. These unusual tetrahomosesquiterpenoids are presumably biosynthesized via a carbon dioxide-triggered electrophilic polyolefin cyclization. Despite the structural differences with thapsigargin, these compounds showed SERCA-inhibiting properties.
