Abstract
Four minor undescribed terpenoids, including a monoterpenoid (1) and three triterpenoids (3, 6 and 7), together with 26 known terpenoids were isolated from the stems and twigs of Rhododendron Ovatum. Their structures were identified by extensive spectroscopic analyses and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) techniques. Compound 10 showed excellent cytotoxicity against human colon cancer cell (HCT-116) with IC50 value of 2.56 μM. Compounds 9 and 19 exhibited partly inhibitory effects on nitric oxide production stimulated by lipopolysaccharide-induced neuroinflammation in microglia cells at 10 μM with inhibition ratios of 39.70% and 28.08%, respectively.
