Article Abstract
Isodon xerophilus has been used as a herbal cold tea for the prevention and treatment of sore throat and inflammation in southernwestern China. A phytochemical study on the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction of I. xerophilus leaves led to the isolation of two new ent-kauranoids, xerophinoids A (1) and B (2), together with 14 known diterpenoids. The structures of xerophinoids A (1) and B (2) were illustrated using spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR analyses. To study their biological activities, the effects of xerophinoids A (1) and B (2) on nitrite production, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-1beta were examined. In addition, xerophinoids A (1) and B (2) also exhibited potent cytotoxicity against several human tumor cell lines (IC50 < 11 microM), but they had no toxicity on human T-lymphocyte (C8166).

Eight new diterpenoids (-) with varied structures were isolated from the aerial parts of . Among them, xerophilsin A () was found to be an unusual meroditerpenoid representing a hybrid of an kauranoid and a long-chain aliphatic ester, xerophilsins B-D (-) are dimeric -kauranoids, while xerophilsins E-H (-) are new kauranoids. The structures of - were elucidated mainly through the analyses of their spectroscopic data.

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common cancer in the world and ranks as the sixth leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis partially due to its low sensitivity to chemotherapy agents, and the development of new therapeutic agents is urgently needed. Here, the antitumor activity of a natural ent-kaurane diterpenoid, xerophilusin B (1), which was isolated from Isodon xerophilus, a perennial herb frequently used in Chinese folk medicine for tumor treatment, was investigated.

Three new ent-abietanoids, named xerophilusins XIV-XVI, and four known analogues, as well as four known chemical constituents were isolated from the leaves of Isodon xerophilus. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic studies, and comparison with literature data. In addition, the cytotoxic activity of the ent-abietanoids against chronic myelogenous leukemia (K562), stomach adenocarcinoma (MKN45), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) human cell lines was investigated and no activities were observed.
