A new dammarane triterpene, polacandrin [1], has been isolated from Polanisia dodecandra. The structure of 1 was established as 1 beta, 3 alpha, 12 beta, 25-tetrahydroxy-20(S),24(S)-epoxydammarane by chemical and spectroscopic methods, which included the concerted application of a number of 2D nmr techniques that involved 1H-1H COSY, HETCOR, NOESY, and long-range HETCOR. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of polacandrin pentahydrate verified the complete structure and stereochemistry. Polacandrin showed potent cytotoxicities against KB (ED50 = 0.60 microgram/ml), P-388 (ED50 = 0.90 microgram/ml), and RPMI-7951 (ED50 = 0.62 microgram/ml) tumor cells.
