Cytotoxic activity of Ipomoea cairica.
(+)-(8R,8'S)-thujaplicatin methyl ether (1), arctigenin (2), matairesinol (3), trans-2,3-dibenzylbutyrolactone (4), vanillic acid (5), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (6), methoxybenzoic acid (7), methylparaben (8), stearic acid (9), palmitic acid (10), olenic acid (11), friedelinol (12), and a mixture of beta-sitosterol (13) and stigmasterol (14) were obtained from the methanolic extract of the Ipomoea cairica (L.) Sweet (Convolvulaceae). The structure of compound 1 was established by spectroscopic analyses. Among them, 2 and 4 were demonstrated to have significant cytotoxicity against LNCaP cell line. Compound 4 was also found to be significantly active against A549 cell line.
