Abstract
Harringtonolide (=hainanolide) is a complex polycyclic fused norditerpene isolated from Cephalotaxus harringtonia var. drupacea. In spite of its appealing biological properties - we measured an IC50 of 43 nM on KB cells and a significant antifungal activity - its absolute configuration has not yet been firmly established. This was done herein using X-ray anomalous scattering after bromination of the tropone ring, unambiguously giving the stereochemistry 5R,6K,7S,13S,14S,15R,16R. Detailed in vitro biological measurements are provided.
