Abstract
A new germacranolide, inulacappolide (1), was isolated from the EtOH extract of the whole plant of Inula cappa along with 16 known compounds. The structure of inulacappolide was a rare 1(10)-saturated type of germacran-6,12-olide, identified as 2alpha-acetoxy-3beta-hydroxy-9beta-angeloyloxygermacra-4-en-6alpha,12-olide by spectral analysis (IR, HR-ESI/MS, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY). In vitro, it showed antiproliferative effects against human cervical cancer HeLa, human leukemia K562 and human nasopharyngeal carcinoma KB cell lines with IC(50) values of 1.2 microM, 3.8 microM and 5.3 microM, respectively.
