Four new clerodane diterpenes, casearupestrins A-D (1-4), were isolated from the leaves of Casearia rupestris. Compounds 1 and 4 were acetylated to yield 2,7-di-O-acetylcasearupestrin A (5) and 2,6-di-O-acetylcasearupestrin D (6). All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of human cancer cell lines. Casearupestrin A (1) exhibited the most potent activity against MDA/MB-435 (human melanoma) and SF-295 (human glioblastoma) cells, superior to that of the standard drug doxorubicin.
从 Casearia rupestris 的叶子中分离得到了四个新的 clerodane 二萜,分别命名为 casearupestrins A-D(1-4)。化合物 1 和 4 经乙酰化得到 2,7-二-O-乙酰基 casearupestrin A(5)和 2,6-二-O-乙酰基 casearupestrin D(6)。所有化合物均对一组人癌细胞系进行了细胞毒性评价。Casearupestrin A(1)对 MDA/MB-435(人黑色素瘤)和 SF-295(人神经胶质瘤)细胞的活性最强,优于标准药物阿霉素。
