The East African shrub Hypoëstes verticillaris representing a heretofore chemically unexplored. Acanthaceae genus has been found to contain two new cell growth inhibitory (murine P-388 lymphocytic leukemia) phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids termed hypoestestatin 1 (1a) and hypoestestatin 2 (1b). Both substances were found to markedly inhibit growth of the murine P-388 cell line (ED50 = 10(-5) micrograms/ml). The structures of hypoestestatins 1 and 2 were assigned primarily on the basis of results from extensive spectral studies.
东非灌木轮生叶九头狮子草(Hypoëstes verticillaris),代表了一个迄今为止化学上未被探索的爵床科属。现已发现其含有两种新的具有细胞生长抑制活性(针对小鼠P-388淋巴细胞白血病)的菲并吲哚里西啶生物碱,分别命名为九头狮子草素1(1a)和九头狮子草素2(1b)。发现这两种物质均能显著抑制小鼠P-388细胞系的生长(半数有效剂量=10^(-5)微克/毫升)。九头狮子草素1和2的结构主要是根据广泛的光谱研究结果确定的。
