Abstract

Seventeen ent-abietane diterpenes, including gelomulides K-X (1-14), and three known compounds, were isolated from a dichloromethane-soluble extract of Gelonium aequoreum through bioassay-guided fractionation. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods, and stereochemistry was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, CD spectral data, and Mosher's method. The isolates were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity, and compounds 1 and 3 showed moderate cytotoxicity against lung (A549), breast (MDA-MB-231 and MCF7), and liver (HepG2) cancer cell lines.
