[Studies on chemical constituents from the stems of Schisandra sphaerandra].
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the chemical constituents from the stems of Schisandra sphaerandra. METHOD: Compounds were isolated from ethanolic extract of the titled herb by silica gel column chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by physical and chemical evidences and spectroscopic analysis. RESULT: 12 compounds were obtained and identified as wuweizisu C (1), ganwuweizic acid (2), nigranoic acid (3), catechin (4), 2 alpha,24-dihytroxyursolic acid. (5), 3 beta-O-acetylursolic acid (6), ursolic acid (7), slyceryl 26-hydroxyhexacosanoate (8), slyceryl hexacosanoate (9), fat acids (10), beta-sitosterol (11), daucosterol (12), respectirely. CONCLUSION: Three pentacyclic triterpene carboxylic acid (5-7) were isolated from Schisandreae for the first time.

Diterpenoids from Isodon enanderianus.
Four ent-kauranoids, 6-epiangustifolin and enanderinanins F-H, as well as 11 known ent-kaurane diterpenoids, macrocalin B, xerophilusin A, trichorabdal A, trichorabdal B, effusin, angustifolin, longikaurin D, longikaurin F, enanderinanin B, xerophilusin G and shikokianin were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon enanderianus. The new diterpenoids were identified as 6-epiangustifolin (11alpha-hydroxy-6alpha-methoxy-6,19-epoxy-6,7-seco-ent-kaur-16-en-15-one-7,20-olide), enanderinanin F (19-acetoxy-6,20:6,11beta-diepoxy-6,7-seco-ent-kaur-16-en-15-one-1beta,7-olide), enanderinanin G (1beta,6beta,7beta-trihydroxy-19-acetoxy-16beta-methoxymethyl-7alpha,20-epoxy-ent-kaur-15-one) and enanderinanin H (6beta,7beta,14beta-trihydroxy-1alpha,11beta-acetonide-7alpha,20-epoxy-ent-kaur-16-en-15-one), respectively, on the basis of spectral data, especially by 2D NMR techniques. 6-Epiangustifolin showed significant cytotoxic activity against K562 cell.

Abietane diterpenoids from Coleus xanthanthus.
Eight new abietane diterpenoids, coleon U 11-acetate (1), 16-acetoxycoleon U 11-acetate (2), and xanthanthusins F-K (3-8), together with five known analogues, coleon U (9), 16-O-acetylcoleon C (10), coleon U-quinone (11), 8alpha,9alpha-epoxycoleon U-quinone (12), and xanthanthusin E (13), were isolated from the aerial parts of Coleus xanthanthus. The structures of 1-8 were elucidated on the basis of spectral methods. Compounds 1, 5, and 11-13 were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against K562 human leukemia cells.

Cytotoxic 3,20-epoxy-ent-kaurane diterpenoids from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora.
Four new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, laxiflorins J-M (1-4), along with maoecrystal A (5) and maoecrystal P (6), were isolated from the leaves of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. All the compounds were assayed for their cytotoxic effects on human tumor K562, A549, and T24 cell lines. Compounds 1 and 6 showed significant inhibitory effects on human tumor K562 and T24 cells, with IC(50) values less than 0.5 microg/mL. Compound 3 also demonstrated cytotoxic activities against all three types of human tumor cells, with IC(50) values in the range of 1-25 microg/mL.

Cytotoxic ent-kaurane diterpenoids from Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora.
Three new ent-kaurane diterpenoids laxiflorin E (1), laxiflorin H (6) and laxiflorin I (8) were isolated from the leaves of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora, along with nine known diterpenoids, eriocalyxin A (2), laxiflorin C (3), laxiflorin D (4), laxiflorin A (5), maoecrystal S (7), maoecrystal Q (9), eriocalyxin B (10), maoecrystal C (11) and enmelol (12). The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic methods. Compounds 1-5 are 6,7-seco-ent-kaurane-7,20-olide diterpenoids, and 6-12 belong to 7,20-epoxy-ent-kauranoids. The spectral data of enmelol (12) are reported here for the first time. Ten of these compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity toward K562 and T24 human tumor cells. Compounds 1, 3 and 10 showed significant inhibitory effects on K562 cells with IC50 values 0.077, 0.569 and 0.373 microg/mL, and compounds 1 and 10 also demonstrated significant inhibitory activities toward T24 cells with IC50 values 0.709 and 0.087 microg/mL. Compounds 8 and 11 also displayed inhibitory effect on both two kinds of cells with IC 50 value less than 6.5 microg/mL.

Constituents of Clerodendrum bungei.
Two new compounds, 5-O-ethylcleroindicin D (1) and bungein A (2), together with 12 known compounds (3-14), were isolated from the aerial parts of the medicinal plant Clerodendrum bungei. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated as a perhydrobenzofuran derivative and a peroxide dimer by spectral and chemical evidence. Compounds 3-14 have been obtained from this species for the first time.
