A new cytotoxic acyclic diterpene from Carpesium divaricatum.
A new acyclic diterpene (1) and a known acyclic diterpene, 12(S)-hydroxygeranylgeraniol (2) were isolated from the aerial parts of Carpesium divaricatum. The structure of 1 was determined to be (2E,10E)-1,12-dihydroxy-18-acetoxy-3,7,15-trimethylhexadeca- 2,10,14-triene (1) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines, A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and HCT15, with ED50 values ranging from 4.3-10.2 micrograms/ml and 4.1-8.3 micrograms/ml, respectively.
