Through bioassay-guided isolation, five compounds with growth inhibitory activity on S1T, an adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) cell line, were isolated from the crude methanol extract of the aerial parts of Hyptis verticillata.
BACKGROUND
Adult T-cell leukemia is an aggressive hematological malignancy with a poor clinical prognosis, and a rapid resistance to chemotherapy is rapid.
METHODS
Cytotoxicity assay-directed fractionation identified a novel lignan-related agent, 4-methoxy-9-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-8, 9 -
A new cytotoxic (P-388 ED50 4 microgm/ml) arylnaphthalene lignan has been isolated from the Mexican medicinal plant Hyptis verticillata (Lamiaceae) and characterized as 5-methoxydehydropodophyllotoxin [1]. Eight additional lignans were also obtained by bioactivity-directed fractionation using the
Two new humulene-type sesquiterpenes, named hyptishumulene I (1) and II (2), have been isolated, together with eight known compounds, a humulene-type sesquiterpene (3), a monoterpene (4) and six abietane-type diterpenoids (5-10) from the aerial parts of Hyptis incana (Labiatae). The cytotoxic
