Abstract:
A new dinorcassane diterpenoid, seikphoochinal A (1), and four known compounds, pinostrobin (2), 4',7-dimethylkaempferol (3), and galanals A (4) and B (5), were isolated from the chloroform-soluble crude extract of wild type Boesenbergia rotunda rhizomes collected in Lower Myanmar. The chemical structures of these compounds were identified, using a combination of spectroscopic methods. The presence of the diterpenoids 1, 4, and 5 demonstrated the structural diversity of wild type B. rotunda. Among the isolates, compounds 4 and 5 exhibited significant antiproliferative activities against a small panel of human cancer cell lines, including lung (LK-2, A549), stomach (ECC4), breast (MCF7), cervix (HeLa), and prostate (DU145).
