Two new ent-kaurene diterpenoids, 15α-acetoxyl-6,11α-epoxy-6α-hydroxy-20-oxo-6,7-seco-ent-kaur-16-en-1,7-olide (1), 15α-hydroxy-20-oxo-6,7-seco-ent-kaur-16-en-1,7α(6,11α)-diolide (2), together with ten known compounds (5-14) were isolated from the leaves of Isodon rubescens. Their structures were elucidated mainly by various spectroscopic techniques and finally confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 1, 2, 8 and 12 were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against EC-1, U87, A549, MCF-7 and Hela cell lines.

Background And Aim: Isodon japonicus (Nakai) Hara var. Japonicus (Japanese blue basil) has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat diarrhea. Glaucocalyxin A (Gla-A), one of its primary active constituents, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant, and antifibrotic properties.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Isodonrubescens (Hemsl.) Hara, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, demonstrates tumor inhibiting properties and therapeutic effecacy in treating esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, its mechanism of action and the differential effects on varying ESCC differentiation grades remain unclear, despite the direct correlation between pathological grade and patient prognosis.

Background: , a core botanical drug in Yao ethnomedicine, has traditionally been used to treat jaundice-type hepatitis and cholecystitis. However, its therapeutic potential and mechanisms against liver fibrosis remain largely unexplored.
Methods: The metabolites of water extract (ILW) were characterized by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and UPLC coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF/MS).

Cholestatic liver injury is characterized by abnormal synthesis and excretion of bile acids, which often deteriorates into liver fibrosis, liver cancer and other diseases. Nodosin (Nod), a natural active compound derived from Chinese herb Isodon serra (Maxim.) Kudo, has been reported with valuable bioactivity for anti-cancer and anti-inflammation.

Nine previously undescribed diterpenoids, namely, Henanabinins A-I (1-9), and 14 known analogues (10-23), were isolated from the aerial part of Isodon rubescens. Henanabinins A-C (1-3) were classified as ent-abietane diterpenoids, whereas Henanabinins DI (4-9) as ent-kaurane diterpenoids. Their structures were elucidated through extensive and mass spectrometric analyses.
