Abstract
Fractionation of an n-hexane extract of the aerial parts of Salvia
leriifolia led to the isolation of two new (1, 2) and two known (3, 4)
labdane diterpenoids, together with three other known compounds. The
structures were established by a combination of 1D and 2D NMR, and
HRESIMS. The structures of 1 and 3 were confirmed by single-crystal
X-ray analysis. The absolute configuration of 1-4 was established by
electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. Compounds 1-4 were evaluated
for their cytotoxic activities against MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
Labdanes 3 and 4 were additionally tested against MDA-MB231 human breast
cancer and DU-145 human prostate cancer cell lines. Compound 4 showed
IC50 values of 25, 50, and 50 mu M against MCF-7, MDA-MB231, and DU-145
cells, respectively. Compounds 1-4 were tested for activity against
gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia
coli) bacteria. Compound 3 showed an MIC of 213 mu M against
methicillin-resistant S. aureus.
