Structure and Biological Activity of the Furan-Diterpenoids from the Genera Leonotis and Leonurus
2007
The present review, covering the literature up to 2006, reports the chemistry and the biological activities of the diterpenoids occurring in the aerial parts of species belonging to the genera Leonotis and Leonurus, family Lamiaceae.
The Diterpenoids of the Genus Marrubium (Lamiaceae)
2006
The occurrence and chemical structures of labdane diterpenoids from the genus Marrubium are reviewed and the published 13C NMR spectroscopic data for these compounds is presented. The pharmacological activities and biogenesis of these diterpenoids are also reported.
Cytotoxic properties of Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum and its bioactive components
2013
Marrubium globosum Montbr. et Auch. ex Benth. ssp. libanoticum Boiss. (Lamiaceae) is a medicinal plant used in Lebanon for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, asthma, coughs and other pulmonary and urinary problems. The goal of our study was to assess the biological activity of M. globosum by testing different extracts of the aerial parts for their antiproliferative activity against human melanoma cells using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The chloroform fraction showed the greatest activity. The compounds isolated from the extracts were also tested: the mixture of (13 S)-9α,13α-epoxylabda-6β(19),16(15)-diol dilactone and (13 R)-9α,13α-epo…
Labdane Diterpenoids from Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum
2006
From the aerial parts of Marrubium globosum ssp. libanoticum, seven labdane diterpenoids were isolated. Three of them are new natural products [(13R)-9alpha,13alpha-epoxylabda-6beta(19),16(15)-diol dilactone (2), deacetylvitexilactone (7), marrulanic acid (8)], whereas the other four, namely, (13S)-9alpha,13alpha-epoxylabda-6beta(19),16(15)-diol dilactone (1), cyllenin A (3), 15-epi-cyllenin A (4), and marrulibanoside, are previously known compounds. The structures of 2, 7, and 8 were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods.
Diterpenes from Euphorbia segetalis
1998
Numerous new diterpenes including several with new skeletons have been obtained from Euphorbia segetalis.
Photochemical Transformations of Some Neoclerodane and Labdane Diterpene Ketones
1999
Some neoclerodane (2–4) and labdane (5 and 6) diterpene ketones having a β- or γ-hydroxy function, an α-epoxy group, or an α-olefinic double bond have been irradiated at λ = 313 nm in dry solvents (benzene or methanol). Fruticolone (2) yielded the naturally occurring 5,6-seco-neoclerodan-6,1α-olide derivative fruticolide (1), while hispanolone (5) gave the δ-lactone 8, both transformations involving a Norrish type I photoreaction. The α,β-unsaturated ketone derivative 4 was transformed into 7 by a stereoselective intramolecular [2+2] cycloaddition reaction involving its furanic 13(16)-double bond. Finally, the α-epoxy ketone 6 was rearranged to the 10(98)abeo-labda-7,9-dione derivative 10. …
