Methanol (MeOH), dichloromethane (DCM) and 80% MeOH extractions of fourteen medicinal plants of the families Solanaceae and Lamiaceae collected from different area of Iran were tested for their cytotoxic potential against MOLT-4 human cancer cell lines. Cytotoxicity of the tested plants indicated that 11 plants had one or two active extracts (IC50 ≤50): MeOH extracts of the shoots of Thymus trautvetteri, Solanum luteum and stems of Lycium shawii; DCM extracts of the shoots of Thymus kotschyanus, Salvia persepolitana, Ballota aucheri, Nepeta glomerulosa, Hyoscyamus tenuicaulis, Salvia lachnocalyx, Salvia sharifii as well as the stems of Salvia verticillata and the roots of Salvia multicaulis and S. lachnocalyx; 80% MeOH extracts of the shoots of T. trautvetteri, S. luteum and the stems of L. shawii. The DCM extract of the aerial parts of S. lachnocalyx as one of the most active species was subjected to the cytotoxic bioassay-guided fractionation and purification using combination of chromatography methods. The bioassay-guided fractionation of DCM extract of the shoots of S. lachnocalyx led to the isolation of two cytotoxic compounds: (2 Z,6 Z,10 Z,14 E)-geranylfarnesol (1), a novel natural product, and spathulenol (2). Both of the isolated compounds, especially 1 (IC50 range: 9.6 −20.2 μg/mL), showed good cytotoxic effects against 3 human cancer cell lines, MOLT-4, MCF-7 and HT-29.

A new ent-kaurane glycoside, annoglabasin H (1), and three known ent-kauranes, annoglabasin E (2), annoglabasin B (3), and 19-nor- ent-kaurent-4-ol-17-oic acid (4) were isolated from the fruits of Annona glabra. Their structures were determined by the combination of spectroscopic and chemical methods, including 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, as well as by comparison with the NMR data reported in the literature. The cytotoxic activities of these compounds were evaluated on four human cancer cell lines, LU-1, MCF-7, SK-Mel2, and KB. Compound 1 exhibited significant cytotoxic activity on all tested human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 3.7 to 4.6 μM.

One new biscembranoid, petronigrione (1), and five known compounds, methyl tortuoate B (2), lobophytone U (3), lobophytone H (4), (24 S)-ergostane 3β,5α,6β,25tetraol-25-monoacetate (5), and (24 S)-ergostane-1β,3β,5α,6β,25-pentaol-25-monoacetate (6), were isolated from the methanol extract of the marine sponge Petrosia nigricans. Their structures were established on the basis of spectral and chemical evidence. The cytotoxicity of all compounds was evaluated by MTT assay on four human cancer cell lines, HepG2, KB, LU-1, and MCF-7. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activities on the four human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging of 20.7 - 28.9 μg/mL.

ABSTRACTFrom leaves of Amesiodendron chinense (Mer.) Hu four lignans (+)-aptosimon (1), (+)-isolariciresinol (2), (-)-cleomiscosin A (3), and (-)-cleomiscosin C (3) were isolated. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including MS, 1D and 2D NMR as well as by comparison with reported data in literature. All compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against five human cancer cell lines, KB, SK-LU-1, MCF-7, HepG-2, and SW-480. They showed weak cytotoxic activity on five tested human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 32.61 to 95.18 µg/ml.

Using various chromatographic methods, one new sesquiterpene quinone named smenohaimien F (1) and five known, neodactyloquinone (2), dactyloquinone C (3), dactyloquinone D (4), isoamijiol (5), and amijiol (6), were isolated from the marine sponge Smenospongia cerebriformis Duchassaing & Michelotti, 1864. Their structures were elucidated by 1D-, 2D-NMR spectroscopic analysis, HR-ESI-MS, and by comparing with the NMR data reported in the literature. The cytotoxic activities of the all compounds were evaluated on five human cancer cell lines, LU-1, HL-60, SK-Mel-2, HepG-2, and MCF-7. Compound 4 was found to exhibit significant cytotoxic activities on all tested human cancer cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 0.7 to 1.6 μg/mL.

A series of novel 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-4H-chromen-3-yl-sulfonate derivatives (4a-4n) were synthesized and investigated for their in vitro free radical scavenging potential as well as cytotoxic efficacies against selected cancer cell lines. The cytotoxicity of the 4H-chromene derivatives (4a‑4n) was evaluated according to three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, A549, HeLa) by utilizing a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Accordingly, part of the results exhibited better cytotoxic activities than that of the positive controls (4H-chromen-4-one and apigenin). Among them, compounds 4c-4g exhibited better training to the positive control against the three human cancer cell lines (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 3.87 ± 0.12 to 21.38 ± 0.52 μM). Moreover, the extract of the 4H-chromene derivatives (4a‑4n) showed better activity against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2’-azino-bis-3‑ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) in antioxidant assays compared to that of the positive control ascorbic acid (IC50 = 12.72 ± 0.27, 5.09 ± 0.21 μg mL-1). Thus, it can be confirmed from the bioassay results that the overall structural design, as well as proper substitution, is crucial in delivering anticipated biological effects. In this regard, spectroscopic techniques such as 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were also carried out to confirm the final structures.
