The structure elucidation and the assignment of the relative configurations of the new natural products were based on detailed NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses, whereas the structure of metabolite 6 was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The absolute configuration of metabolite 1 was determined using the modified Mosher's method. The in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1-14 was evaluated against HT29, MCF7, and A431 cell lines. © 2010 American Chemical Society and American Society of Pharmacognosy." }
