Abstract
A racemic mixture of a new bicyclononane aldehyde, (1RS,5SR,6RS)-5-hydroxybicyclo[4.3.0]non-2-ene-2-carbaldehyde (1) was isolated from the fruits of Amomum tsao-ko, together with 12 known compounds (2–13). The structure of 1 was determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR data. The antiproliferative activity of compounds 1–13 was assessed in the murine neuroblastoma cell line N2a.
Key words
Amomum tsao‐ko
- Zingiberaceae - bicyclic aldehydes - antiproliferative activity
