[Study on the chemical constituents of the volatile oil from aerial parts of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora].

OBJECTIVE: To study the chemical constituents of the volatile oil from the aerial parts of Isodon eriocalyx var. laxiflora. METHOD: The oil was obtained by hydrodistillation. The chemical compositions were separated and identified by GC-MS. The relative contents in the oil were determined by area normalization. RESULT: 163 peaks were separated and 105 compounds were identified, constituting 85.68% of the total peak area. CONCLUSION: 105 compounds characterized by GC-MS analysis were found from I. eriocalyx var. laxiflora for the first time.

Cytotoxic ent-kauranoids from Isodon leucophyllus.

Two new compounds, baiyecrystals D and E (1, 2), together with eight known analogues, xerophilusin B (4), macrocalin B (5), oridonin (6), rosthorin A (7), lasiocarpanin (8), rabdoternin A (9) and phyllostachysin A (10) and B (11), were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon leucophyllus. The structures of 1 and 2 and 4-11 were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods, especially the 2D NMR spectral analysis. Compounds 2, 6-8 and 10 were evaluated for their antineoplastic activities in vitro. Among them, lasiocarpanin (8) showed significant inhibitory activities against K562 and Bcap37 cells, with the IC50 values of 0.13 and 1.26 microg mL(-1), respectively, which were lower than those of the positive control.

Cytotoxic diterpenoids from Isodon enanderianus.

Five new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, enanderianins K-O (1-5), and one new ent-abietane diterpenoid, enanderianin P (6), together with five known ent-kaurane diterpenoids, rabdocoetsin A (7), rabdocoetsin B (8), rabdocoetsin D (9), megathyrin A (10), megathyrin B (11) were isolated from the aerial parts of Isodon enanderianus. Their structures were determined by spectral means. Some diterpenoids were tested for their cytotoxicity against the human tumor K562 cells. Compounds 1, 2, 6, 8, 9 showed significant inhibitory activities against K562 cells with IC50 values ranging from 0.13 to 0.87 microg/mL.

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.

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.
