SUMMARY<br />
<br />
STUDY ON THE SYNTHESIS OF HOWIINOL A<br />
The antitumor compound howiinol A has been isolated and characterized for the first time<br />
from the root and stem bark of Goniothalamus howii Merr. (Annonaceae). This compound<br />
blocked the cell cycle transition from G 1 phase to S phase and inhibited the activity of<br />
topoisomerase II both inside and out side the cells. The methode of howiinol synthesis has been<br />
studied by the scientists of lnstitute of Materia Medica Beijiing in 1998. Herein, we describe<br />
another methode for the synthesis of howiinol A. The structure of howiinol and intermediate<br />
products were estabilished by MS and NMR spectroscopies.<br />
