ent-Labdane Diterpenoids from the Aerial Parts of Eupatorium obtusissmum.

Six new ent-labdane diterpenoids, uasdlabdanes A-F (1-6), were isolated from the aerial parts of Eupatorium obtusissmum. The new structures were elucidated through spectroscopic and spectrometric data analyses. The absolute configurations of compounds 1 and 2 were established by X-ray crystallography, and those of 3-6, by comparison of experimental and calculated electronic circular dichroism spectra. The antiproliferative activity of the compounds was studied in a panel of six representative human solid tumor cell lines and showed GI50 values ranging from 19 to >100 µM.
