Article Abstract

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.

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.
