Teucvisins A-E, five new neo-clerodane diterpenes from Teucrium viscidum

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2014;62(5):472-6. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c13-00990.

Abstract

Two new neo-clerodane diterpenoids, teucvisins A and B (1, 2), and three new 19-nor-neoclerodane diterpenoids, teucvisins C-E (3-5), together with ten known constituents (6-15) were isolated from the whole plants of Teucrium viscidum. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory activities of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide production in RAW264.7 macrophages. The results indicated that compounds 11 and 15 showed moderate inhibition with an IC50 value of 21.9 and 22.4 µM, respectively.
