A methanolic extract of Orthosiphon stamineus yielded six new highly oxygenated isopimarane-type diterpenes, orthosiphols U-Z (1-6), and 15 previously reported diterpenes. The isolated diterpenes all showed significant dose-dependent inhibitory effects on the nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophage-like J774.1 cells. Orthosiphols A (7), B (8), D (9), and X (4) showed more potent inhibitory activities than a positive control, N(G)-monomethyl-l-arginine (l-NMMA), and 1 displayed the strongest activity with an IC(50) value of 6.4 microM.
猫须草的甲醇提取物产生了六种新的高度氧化的异海松烷型二萜,即猫须草醇U-Z(1-6),以及15种先前报道的二萜。分离得到的二萜对脂多糖(LPS)激活的巨噬细胞样J774.1细胞中一氧化氮(NO)的产生均表现出显著的剂量依赖性抑制作用。猫须草醇A(7)、B(8)、D(9)和X(4)显示出比阳性对照N(G)-单甲基-L-精氨酸(L-NMMA)更强的抑制活性,化合物1表现出最强的活性,IC(50)值为6.4 microM。
