A new cytotoxic hydroxybutanolide, tambouranolide, has been isolated by solid phase extraction from an ethanol extract of the dried roots of a species of Tambourissa (Monimiaceae) from the Madagascar rainforest. The structure was elucidated through the interpretation of spectral data and its comparison to data reported in the literature for related molecules. The compound showed moderate in vitro cytotoxicity with an IC50 of 8 micro g mL(-1) in the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line assay.

To obtain more accessible oxidative stress inhibitors, a series of novel spin-labelled derivatives of 3-hydroxybutanolide (2a-d, 3a-d) with the natural active compound (kinsenoside) as the lead compound were designed, synthesised from the nitroxide free radical piperidine (pyrroline) and the main structural unit of kinsenoside: 3-hydroxybutanolide. Antioxidant activity screening of these derivatives was performed using MTT method on rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The antioxidative stress effect was further investigated on the changes of the important antioxidant enzyme activities and intracellular reactive oxygen species production.
