Abstract:
A new cassane diterpenoid, caesappine A (1), and a new natural cassane diterpenoid, caesappine B (2) were isolated from the seeds of Caesalpinia sappan. The new structures of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by analysing their 1D NMR, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectra. Compounds 1 and 2 were evaluated for the cytotoxic activities on Hela and HepG-2 human cancer cell lines.

Seed structures are composed of a protective seed coat surrounding a plant embryo, and a food store for the developing embryo. The embryo contains the precursor tissues for leaves, stem, and roots. The endosperm and cotyledons—seed leaves—act as the food reserves for the growing embryo.

Caspase, a family of cysteine proteases, serve as effectors in apoptosis. The ced3 gene in C.elegans was first identified to be involved in apoptosis. This gene encodes the ced-3 caspase that is similar to the interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme or ICE in mammals. In addition to apoptosis, caspases also function in the inflammatory response. Inflammatory caspases are essential in activating pro-inflammatory cytokines that recruit immune cells and block the replication of pathogens inside...
