Current interest in Taxus plants focuses on needles and barks of the plant in order to obtain taxol (2) and 10-deacetylbaccatin Ⅲ. Recently, we got an opportunity to investigate the constituents of hte root of Taxus yunnanensis. From the ethereal extract of the root of titled plant, we isolated a new compound, named taxuyunnanine (1), [α]_D^(25)-45.4°(c=1.67, MeOH)展开更多
