Abstract
Epoxygoniolide-1 (1), possessing spiroepoxide lactone, enal, and masked dialdehyde functionalities, has been characterized from the conspicuously patterned mollusc Goniobranchus splendidus. Its relative configuration was investigated by spectroscopic analyses, molecular modeling, and density functional theory calculations. The biosynthesis of 1 may involve rearrangement of a diterpene framework, providing a precursor to cometabolite gonioline (2), followed by C-C bond cleavage (via Grob or P450 mechanism). Moderate cytotoxicity to NCIH-460, SW60, or HepG2 cancer cells was observed for norditerpene 1.
