Abstract

The structures and antioxidative activity of retro carotenoids from the berries of the Japanese yew, Taxus cuspidata were studied. Three retro carotenoids, rhodoxanthin (1), eschscholtzxanthone (2) and eschscholtzxanthin (3) were identified by spectroscopy. The stereo-structure of (2) was fully determined based on ¹H-NMR and CD spectral data. These retro carotenoids showed stronger antioxidative activity for lipid peroxidation induced by free radical and singlet oxygen than that of β-carotene.
