Planta Med. 2003 Jan;69(1):94-6. | A new diepoxy-ent-kauranoid, rugosinin, from Isodon rugosus.[Pubmed: 12567293] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
A new diterpenoid, rugosinin (1), isolated from Isodon rugosus, with absolute configuration was proved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, to be the member of a rare class of C-20/C-7 and C-20/C-14 diepoxy- ent-kauranoids. Effusanin A (2), effusanin B (3), effusanin E (4), lasiokaurin (5) and oridonin (6) were found as known constituents of the genus Isodon with C-20/C-7 epoxy function.
CONCLUSIONS:
These compounds have exhibited DNA-damaging activity in assay which employed DNA-repair deficient (RAD 52Y) and repair proficient (RAD +) yeast strains. | J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2009 Aug;11(8):693-7. | Cytotoxic ent-kaurane diterpenoids from Isodon macrophyllus.[Pubmed: 20183309 ] | METHODS AND RESULTS:
Two new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, dayecrystals D-E (1-2), together with nine known compounds, isojaponin A (3), rabdosin A (4), lushanrubescensin J (5), wikstroemioidin B (6), maoyecrystal C (7), rabdosin B (8), isodonal (9), shikokianin (10), and Effusanin A (11), were isolated from the leaves of Isodon macrophyllus. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. The (13)C-NMR spectral data of compound 4 are reported for the first time. All of the compounds were tested for their cytotoxicities against DU145 and LoVo human tumor cells.
CONCLUSIONS:
Compounds 4, 10, and 11 showed inhibitory effects on DU145 cells with IC(50) values 5.90, 4.24, and 3.16 microM, and LoVo cells with IC(50) values 14.20, 17.55, and 3.02 microM, respectively. |
