Abstract

Two new cycloartane-type triterpenoids, 3β-hydroxy-21-O-acetyl-24-methylenecycloartane (3) and 3β,21-dihydroxy-24,31-epoxy-24-methylenecycloartane (4), one new flavanone, 7-hydroxy-6,8-dimethoxyflavanone (5), two new natural products, 2-hydroxybenzyl benzoate (7) and 2-phenyl-2-acetoxyethyl benzoate (8), and ten known compounds, 3β-hydroxy-24-methylenecycloartane (1), 3β,21-dihydroxy-24-methylenecycloartane (2), desmosdumotin B (6), artabotrene (9), (−)-senepoxide (10), (+)-crotepoxide (11), (−)-1,6-desoxypipoxide (12), rotundol (13), cassipourol (14) and (+)-spathulenol (15) were isolated from the leaves of Dasymaschalon dasymaschalum. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and of the known compounds by comparison of their physical, UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR data with those of published compounds. Antimycobacterial, antiplasmodial and cytotoxic activities of the isolates, except 8 and 10 were evaluated. Compounds 1, 4, 5, 11, 12 and 15 exhibited potent cytotoxic activities against human lung cancer cell lines (NCI-H187) with respective IC50 values of 4.67, 7.82, 1.85, 6.33, 3.07 and 6.68μg/mL.
