Abstract
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an active methyl ethyl ketone extract of Hardwickia binata, using an assay sensitive to DNA polymerase β inhibition, resulted in the isolation of a potent inhibitor. This proved to be a novel diterpenoid, which has been named harbinatic acid (1). The structure of I was established as 3α-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-7-labden-15-oic acid from spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with the published data for a structurally related compound. Compound 1 strongly inhibited calf thymus DNA polymerase β, with an IC50 value of 2.9 μM.
