Two annonaceous acetogenins: squamone (1) and isoannonareticin (2) have been isolated from the seeds of Annona reticulata L. (Annonaceae). 1 and 2 were shown to be mixtures of 2-epimers by the successful separation of their acetates with preparative TLC, giving: 2,4-cis-squamone diacetate (1a-1), 2,4-trans-squamone diacetate (1a-2), 2,4-cis-isoannonareticin diacetate (2a-1) and 2,4-trans-isoannonareticin diacetate (2a-2). The 2,4-cis-squamone (1-1) and 2,4-trans-isoannonareticin (2-1) are new annonaceous acetogenins. Their structures and relative stereochemistry were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis (1H-1H COSY and NOE).
