Isolation of Two Cytotoxic Diterpenes from the Fern Pteris multifida

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: From aerial parts of the fern Pteris multifida Poir. (Polypodiaceae) two diterpenes, entkaurane-2 beta, 16 alpha-diol and ent-kaur-16-ene-2 beta, 15 alpha-diol, were isolated by repeated column chromatography using silica gel and silica gel impregnated with silver nitrate. The structures were confirmed by spectroscopic methods. Both compounds showed a moderate cytotoxicity to Ehrlich ascites tumour cells.
