ent-kaurane diterpenoids from Isodon lungshengensis

J Nat Prod. 1999 Jul;62(7):941-5. doi: 10.1021/np980426f.

Abstract

Six new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, lungshengenins B-G (1-6), together with three known diterpenoids, lungshengenin A (7), inflexin (8), and lushanrubescinsin C (9), were isolated from the leaves and tender branches of Isodon lungshengensis. Their structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopy, mainly 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Lungshengenins A (7), C (2), and G (6) were cytotoxic toward K562 cells, having IC(50) values equal to or less than 10 microg/mL.
