Abstract
An anticancer-bioassay guided isolation of the ethanol extract and fractions of two plants from the Peruvian rainforest, Mikania decora and Cremastosperma microcarpum, led to the characterization of one abundant diterpene, ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (1), three thymol derivatives, 10-acetoxy-8,9-dehydro-6-methoxythymol butyrate (2), 10-acetoxy-8,9-epoxy-6- methoxythymol isobutyrate (3), and acetylschizoginol (4), as well as one neolignan, (±)-trans-dehydrodiisoeugenol (5). Only the latter was isolated from C. microcarpum. These compounds exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against a panel of human tumor cell lines. Compounds 3 and 4 were also investigated for their in vitro antileishmanial and trypanocidal activity against Leishmania amazonensis axenic amastigotes and Trypanosoma cruzi trypomastigotes.
