Abstract

A phytochemical investigation of the roots of led to the isolation of -kaurane-type diterpenoids and additional phytochemicals (⁻). The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analyses. The absolute configurations of seven of the -kaurane-type diterpenoids (⁻, and ) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Eleven of the compounds were also isolated from the roots and the aerial parts of . The literature NMR assignments for compounds and were revised. In a cytotoxicity assay, 12α-methoxy--kaur-9(11),16-dien-19-oic acid () (IC = 27.3 ± 1.9 µM) and 9β-hydroxy-15α-angeloyloxy--kaur-16-en-19-oic acid () (IC = 24.7 ± 2.8 µM) were the most cytotoxic against the hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep-G2) cell line, while 15α-angeloyloxy-16β,17-epoxy--kauran-19-oic acid () (IC = 30.7 ± 1.7 µM) was the most cytotoxic against adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial (A549) cells.
