Abstract
Two sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from Hemisteptia lyrata Bunge (Compositae). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods as recently known hemistepsin and the new 6-O-(2-methylpropenoyl)-3-hydroxy- 4(15), 10(14),11(13)-guaiatrien-12,8-olide. The two hemistepsin derivatives were examined for their in vitro cytotoxic activity against human cell lines such as UACC 62, HCT 15, UO-31, PC-3 and A549. Growth inhibitory property was determined by in vitro treatment of the respective cell lines using the sulforhodamine B assay (SRB). Both compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activity (IC50 < 4.3 μg/ml) on all five human cell lines tested.
