Abstract

An extensive study of the diterpenoids produced by the species of Isodon rubescens, has led to the isolation of 12 new ent-kaurane diterpenoids, hebeirubescensins A-L (1-12), and 19 known analogues. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analysis. Selected compounds were assayed for their inhibitory ability against human A549, HT-29, and K562 cells. Among them, hebeirubescensins B and C exhibited significant cytotoxicity with IC50 values of <2.0 μM. The structure-activity relationships were discussed.
