New Diterpenoids from <i>Mesona procumbens</i> with Antiproliferative Activities Modulate Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptosis in Human Leukemia Cancer Cells
<i>Mesona procumbens</i> is a popular material used in foods and herbal medicines in Asia for clearing heat and resolving toxins. However, phytochemical research on this plant is very rare. In this study, eleven new diterpenoids, mesonols A-K (<b>1–11</b>), comprising seven &...

<i>Mesona procumbens</i> is a popular material used in foods and herbal medicines in Asia for clearing heat and resolving toxins. However, phytochemical research on this plant is very rare.

Structural elucidation of compounds <b>1–11</b> was performed by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR, HRESIMS, and X-ray crystallographic analysis. All isolates were assessed for their antiproliferative activity, and compounds <b>1–4</b> showed potential antiproliferative activities against A549, Hep-3B, PC-3, HT29, and U937 cancer cells, with IC<sub>50</sub> values ranging from 1.97 to 19.86 µM.
