A new taxane diterpenoid, taxuspine D (1), possessing an enolacetate moiety, has been isolated from stems of the Japanese yew Taxus cuspidata Sieb. et Zucc., and the structure elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Taxuspine D (1) markedly inhibited Ca(2+)-induced depolymerization of microtubules.
