Fitoterapia. 2005 Jul;76(5):450-2. | Components and antibacterial activity of the roots of Salvia jaminiana.[Pubmed: 15893885 ] | The acetone extract of the roots of Salvia jaminiana, containing the sterols campestanol, stigmasterol and sitosterol, and five known diterpenoids, ferruginol, cryptanol, 6,7-dehydroroyleanon, 6-hydroxysalvinolone and Microstegiol, remarkably inhibited the growth of Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Streptococcus alpha-hemolitic. | Pharmaceutical Biology, 1999 , 37 (2) :148-151. | Cytotoxic Activity of Diterpenoids Isolated from Salvia hypargeia[Reference: WebLink] | METHODS AND RESULTS: Ten diterpenoids [6a-hydroxysalvinolone (1), 6- hydroxytaxodone (2), aethiopinone (3), Microstegiol (4), ferruginol (5), saprorthoquinone (6), 11,12-dioxoabieta-8,13-diene (7), taxodione (8), hypargenin A (9), hypargenin D (10)] and three triterpenoids [lupeol 3- acetate, -oleanol 3-acetate and ß-sitosterol] were isolated from the roots of Salvia hypargeia, a plant endemic to Turkey. The crude extract and compounds 1-2, 5-10 were tested against a panel of human cancer cell lines [human breast cancer (BC 1), human lung cancer (LU 2), human colon cancer (COL 2), human epidermoidal carcinoma in mouth (KB), vinblastineresistant KB-VI, hormone-dependent human prostate cancer (LNCaP)] as well as P388 and ASK cells in culture.
CONCLUSIONS:
The crude extract was active in all of the test systems, except KB. Isolates 1 and 8 were also found to mediate a generalized cytotoxic response. |
