The ethanol extract of Centaurea aegyptiaca aerial parts afforded two new chlorinated bioactive guaianolides, cenegyptin A (1) and cenegyptin B (2), in addition to four known sesquiterpenes (3 - 6). Their identities were established on the basis of their spectral data. The cytotoxicity (IC50, μM) of compounds 1 - 6 were evaluated against hepatic (HEPG2) and laryngeal (HEP2) carcinoma cell lines in comparison with normal fibroblasts (BHK). Compound 1 showed cytotoxic activity against HEPG2 and HEP2 with IC50 values of 7.2 ± 0.04 and 7.5 ± 0.02, respectively. However, compound 2 exhibited only a limited toxicity against both cell lines.
埃及矢车菊地上部分的乙醇提取物除了得到四种已知的倍半萜(3 - 6)外,还提供了两种新的氯化生物活性愈创木烷型内酯,即埃及矢车菊素A(1)和埃及矢车菊素B(2)。它们的结构通过光谱数据得以确定。与正常成纤维细胞(BHK)相比,评估了化合物1 - 6对肝癌(HEPG2)和喉癌(HEP2)细胞系的细胞毒性(IC50,μM)。化合物1对HEPG2和HEP2表现出细胞毒性活性,IC50值分别为7.2±0.04和7.5±0.02。然而,化合物2对这两种细胞系仅表现出有限的毒性。
