Phytochemical, cytotoxic and chemotaxonomic study on Ajuga forrestii Diels (Labiatae)
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: A phytochemical investigation of Ajuga forrestii Diels led to the isolation of 14 compounds, including eight neo-clerodane diterpenes (1-8), two phytoecdysteroids (9, 11), one stigmastane sterol (10) and three iridoid glycosides (12-14). The structures of these compounds were identified by spectroscopic methods and a comparison of their data with those reported in the literature. This is the first report of compounds 1-14 from A. forrestii. The cytotoxic activities of the aqueous extract of A. forrestii and several compounds have been studied and the chemotaxonomic significance of isolated compounds has also been summarised.
