Lignans and other constituents from the roots of the Vietnamese medicinal plant Pseuderanthemum palatiferum.
    Planta medica, 2011, Volume: 77, Issue:9

    Two new lignans, palatiferin A (1) and palatiferin B (2), were isolated from the roots of Pseuderanthemum palatiferum, together with five known triterpenes, epifriedelanol (3), lupeol (4), lupenone (5), betulin (6), pomolic acid (7), and a dipeptide asperglaucide (8). Their structures were established from 2D NMR and mass spectroscopy. The absolute configuration of 1 and 2 was proposed based on the comparison of their optical rotation activities with those of compounds with similar structures such as wodeshiol and paulownin. The new lignans, palatiferin A (1) and palatiferin B (2) exhibited a moderate cytotoxicity against KB and HepG2 cell lines. However, betulin and lupeol, two abundant compounds from the roots of P. palatiferum, showed cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities.
