RESUMO
Phytochemical investigation on the aerial parts of a Lamiaceous medicinal plant Perovskia scrophulariifolia collected in Uzbekistan resulted in the isolation of two new 20-norabietane diterpenes, along with thirteen known diterpenes including one 20-norabietane, eight abietanes, one 6,7-secoabietane, and three icetexanes. The structures of new 20-norabietane diterpenes, perovsfolins C (1) and D (2), were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses aided with calculations of ECD spectra. Perovsfolin C (1) is the first 20-norabietane diterpene possessing a 1,11-epoxy moiety, while perovsfolin D (2) is a 20-norabitetane diterpene with a 2-hydroxy-1,4-quinone moiety as C-ring. Anti-neuroinflammatory activity of the isolated diterpenes on microglial cells was evaluated.

Structurally unique C28 terpenoids, perovsfolins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the aerial parts of an Uzbek medicinal plant, Perovskia scrophulariifolia (Lamiaceae). Their chemical structures including an unprecedented 6/8/6/6/6 pentacyclic carbon skeleton with a C6-C3 ester moiety were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses aided by density functional theory calculations as well as chemical evidence. Perovsfolin B (2) exhibited an anti-neuroinflammatory activity.
