Diterpenoids from Isodon adenantha

J Nat Prod. 2002 Aug;65(8):1111-6. doi: 10.1021/np020084k.

Abstract

Eleven new diterpenoids, adenanthins B-L (1-11), together with five known analogues, calcicolin B (12), adenanthin (13), weisiensin A (14), nervosanin (15), and forrestin C (16), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon adenantha. The structures of 1-11 were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods, as well as the X-ray crystallographic analysis of 11. Compounds 2, 5, and 14 showed significant inhibitory activities against K562 cells, with IC(50) values less than 4.0 microg/mL, respectively.
