A new taxane, 2�,5�,10�-triacetoxy-4�,20-epoxytax-11-ene-1�,7�,9�,13�-tetraol (1), was isolated fromthe rooted cuttings of the Canadian yew, Taxus canadensis.
Keywords: Taxus canadensis, Taxaceae, taxanes, yew, rooted cuttings.
Taxol® (paclitaxel), first isolated from the bark of the Pacific yew, Taxus brevifolia Nutt., is one of the most promisinganticancer agents. Since its discovery, much effort has been made to investigate analogous compounds, and more than 500taxane diterpenoids have been reported to date [1–7]. Among natural yews, the Canadian yew, T. canadensis, is a rich sourceof natural taxanes with unique structural features [8]. In continuation of our phytochemical studies on the Canadian yew, anovel taxane peroxide has been isolated from the methanol extract of the rooted cuttings [9]. Further investigation on the sameextract resulted in the isolation of a new taxane 1 and taxumairol B (2) [10].
Compound 1 and the known taxumairol B (2) were isolated from the same extract of rooted cuttings of Taxus canadensis,previously reported by us [9]. The molecular formula of 1, C26H28O11, was deduced from HR-FAB-MS data. Combinedanalysis of 1H and 13C NMR data (Table 1) revealed that 1 was a typical 6/8/6-membered taxane including four hydroxy, threeacetoxy, one epoxy, and one tetrasubstituted double bond. The geminal methylene signals at �H 2.38, 3.58 (each 1H, d, J = 5.3 Hz),and �C 51.0 indicated the presence of an epoxy ring, whose location at the 4,20-position was elucidated from the HMBCcorrelations of these proton signals to C-4 (Table 1). The 13C NMR and the HMBC data also indicated the positions of fourhydroxy (C-1, C-7, C-9, and C-13) and three acetoxy (C-2, C-5, and C-10) groups. The relative stereochemistry was elucidatedfrom a NOESY experiment (Table 1). The correlation of H-13 with H-14� and H-17; H-2 with H-9, H-16, and H-19; and H-3 withH-7, H-10, and H-18 revealed the 1�-OH, 2�-H, 3�-H, 7�-H, 9�-H, 10�-H, and 13�-H configurations. The 5�-H configurationwas deduced from the NOE correlations of H-5 with H-6�, and H-6� with H-7. The configuration of the 4�,20-epoxy groupwas estimated by comparing the chemical shift values of H-5, H-20a, H-20b, C-4, and C-20 with taxumariol B (2). Thus, thestructure of 1 was determined to be 2�,5�,10�-triacetoxy-4�,20-epoxytax-11-ene-1�,7�,9�,13�-tetraol (1).

EXPERIMENTAL
General. Optical rotation: JASCO DIP-370. HR-FAB-MS: JMS-Dx 305 HF. Preparative TLC: (0.25 mm, Kieselgel60 GF254). Preparative HPLC: Waters Delta Prep 3000, UV 2487 (220 nm), Whatman Partisil 10 ODS-2 Mag-9 (9.4 � 250 mm),50 min linear gradient of CH3CN in water (25% to 100% at 18 mL/min).
NMR Methodology. Most NMR spectra were obtained at room temperature (298K) on a Bruker AV-500 spectrometeroperating at 499.40 MHz for 1H and 125.57 MHz for 13C on a BBFO probe. For 1H NMR, 16 transients were recorded witha 20 ppm spectral window, 45� pulse and 1 s relaxation delay, 32 k data points and 3.17 s acquisition time. For processing1D 1H NMR, zero filling and a Traficant function was used to improve resolution. The magnitude g-COSY experiment (gradientenhanced) was run using 1 transient with 2K � 256 data points and a recycling delay of 1.8 s. The data were processed with aphase-shifted sine function. The gradient-enhanced (TPPI phase mode) NOESY experiment was performed using a mixingtime of 0.4–1.0 s and a relaxation delay of 2 s. The acquisition was repeated for 2 transients, and 2k � 256 increments wereacquired. The data were processed using the Qsine (squared sine) function. The gradient-enhanced HSQC experiment usedecho-antiecho pulses (shaped pulses were used as refocusing pulses). The recycling delay was set to 1 s. The acquisition wasrepeated 2–64 times and 2k by 256–512 fids were acquired. During acquisition of the proton spectrum, 13C broadband GARPdecoupling was applied. The data were processed with a Qsine function and with zero filling in the evolution domain (13C). Inthe HMBC experiment (gradient enhanced, no decoupling) the delay used to emphasize long-range coupling was set to
