In vitro, compounds 1-2 showed cytotoxic activities against three human cancer lines, namely, HONE-4 nasopharyngeal, KB oral epidermoid carcinoma, and HT29 colorectal carcinoma cells, and with ICso values in the range of 3.5-6.7 μM.     

Scutebarbatolides A-C,new neo-clerodane diterpenoids from Scutellaria barbata D. Don with cytotoxic activity

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plant of Scutellaria barbata resulted in the isolation of three new neo-clerodane diterpenoids, named scutebarbatolides A-C (1–3), along with six known analogues as 14-deoxy-11,12-didehydroandrographolide (4), scutehenanine H (5), 14β-hydroxyscutolide K (6), scutebata O (7), scutebartines H (8) and I (9). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR and mass spectra in comparison with the data reported in the literature. Cytotoxicity of the isolates was evaluated toward five human cancer cell lines, including LNCaP, HepG2, KB, MCF7, and SK-Mel2 cells. Of the isolates, compounds 1 and 6 were shown to have moderate cytotoxicity toward all the cancer cell lines, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 30.8 to 51.1 μM. Our results contribute to more insightful clarification of the use of S. barbata in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

Antifeedant activity of neo-clerodane diterpenoids from Teucrium fruticans and derivatives of fruticolone

The antifeedant activity of three neo-clerodane diterpenoids, fruticolone, isofruticolone and fruticolide from Teucrium fruticans was assessed using larvae of Spodoptera littoralis. Isofruticolone was one of the most potent of the Teucrium derived neo-clerodanes. Chemical modification of functional groups on fruticolone showed that its activity could be enhanced.     

Two diterpenoids from copaiba oil

Two new diterpenoids with the furanoid clerodane and dinorlabdane carbon skeletons, termed respectively (+)-7α-acetoxybacchotricuneatin D and (−)-3β-hydroxy-15,16-dinorlabd-8(17)-ene-13-one, were isolated from copaiba oil and their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy.

neo-Clerodane Diterpenoids from the Aerial Parts of Scutellaria barbata with Anti-Inflammatory Activity

The bioactivity-guided isolation on the Scutellaria barbata extract resulted in the purification of four undescribed neo-clerodane diterpenoids, scuttenlines A–D ( 1 – 4 ), alone with 20 known diterpenoids ( 5 – 24 ). The chemical structures of them were elaborated by extensive spectroscopic means, including 1D, 2D-NMR and HR-MS. The anti-inflammatory potential ability of 1 – 24 was screened in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated mouse RAW 264.7 cells. Scuttenline C (IC₅₀=1.9 μM) and 18 (IC₅₀=3.7 μM) exhibited potent activity to inhibit NO production.     

Cytotoxic Neo‐Clerodane Diterpenoids from Scutellaria barbata D.Don

A new neo‐clerodane diterpenoid, barbatin H ( 1 ), together with fifteen known analogues ( 2 – 16 ) were isolated from Scutellaria barbata D.Don . Their structures were determined on the basis of NMR and HR‐MS spectral analysis and comparison with the reported data. All of those compounds were comparatively predicted for their cytotoxic activities against four human tumor cell lines, i. e. LoVo (colon cancer), MCF‐7 (breast cancer), SMMC‐7721 (hepatoma cancer), and HCT‐116 (colon cancer) cells by MTT method in vitro. The results turned out that the series of neo‐clerodane diterpenoids exhibited varying degrees of cytotoxic activities against the growth of the tested tumor cell lines, and most of them exhibited selective cytotoxicity against LoVo cell lines. Scutebata A ( 14 ) showed significant cytotoxic activities against four tested tumor cells with IC₅₀ values of 4.57, 7.68, 5.31, and 6.23 μm , respectively, which indicated that it might be a potential chemotherapeutic agent.
