The cytotoxic activity of 13(E)-labd-13-ene-8α, 15-diol (1) was evaluated against tumor cell lines. A comparison of IC/sub 50/ values of this compound in cancer cell lines showed that their susceptibility to this compound decreased in the following order: P388>B16{F10>MDA-MB-231>A549>KB>SNU-C4 by the MTT method. 13(E}-Labd-13-ene-8α, 15-diol (1) was the most effective growth inhibitor of P388 murine leukaemia cell lines, producing approximately 8.3㎍/mL of IC/sub 50/ in the MTT method.

The effects of bioactive fractions from Brachyglottis monroi on biological activity were investigated. this bioactive subfraction 6-5 is the most cytotoxic to P388 murine leukaemia cell lines. A comparison of IC/sub 50/ values of these subfraction in cancer cell lines showed that their susceptibility to these subfractions decreased in the following order; Fr. 6-5 > Fr. 6-3 > Fr. 6-6 > Fr. 6-1 > Fr. 6-2 > Fr. 6-4 by the MTT method. Silica gel flash column chromatography concentrated the cytotoxic activity in subfraction 6-5 which eluted with 30% and 40% ethyl acetate : hexane gave a major bioactive (51 mg, P388 IC/sub 50/ 8,286 ng/mL at 7.5 ㎍/disc).

4-Geranyloxy compound (1) has elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. This compound (1) inhibited the growth of the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185, (2 mm inhibition zone at 15 ㎍/disc), cytotoxic to P388 murine leukaemia eel/lines ATCC CCL 46 P388D1, (IC/sub 50/ 1,125 ng/ml at 7.5㎍/disc) and BSC monkey kidney cell lines (100% of well at 15 ㎍/disc).

Sequiterpene lactone (1) has determined by spectroscopic analysis. This compound (1) inhibited the growth of the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes (ATCC 28185, 2 mm zone at $15{\mu}g/disk$), cytotoxic to murine leukaemia cell lines ATCC CCL 46 P388Dl, ($IC_{50}$ 1,125 ng/mL at $7.5{\mu}g/disk$) and BSC monkey kidney cell lines (100% of well at $15{\mu}g/disk$).

The crude ethanol extract of B. repanda showed the cytotoxic activity against Polio virus (25% activity at $150{\mu}g$/disk) and the minor cytotoxic activity against BSC cells (African green monkey kidney). However, the crude ethanol extract of B. repanda was non-toxic to murine leukaemia cells CCL 46 P388D1 ($IC_{50}$, > 62,500 ng/ml). Cytotoxic and antifungal activities were strongly shown by Fr. 64-3 which was eluted with 90% $CH_3CN/H_2O$, 100% $CH_3CN$, and 50% $CH_3CN/H_2O$(SM 2 at $150{\mu}g$/disk). The fraction 64-3 also showed the most cytotoxic activity against murine leukaemia cells (128 mg, $IC_{50}$ 10,051 ng/ml at $75{\mu}g$/disk). These results suggest that this fraction has a potent antifungal activity against the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185.

The cytotoxic activity was strongly shown by (-)-ent-costunolide (1) (P388; $IC_{50}$: 687 ng/mL) which isolated from Hepatostolonophora paucistipula. These results suggest that (-)-ent-costunolide (1) has a potential cytotoxic activity.

Bioactivity-directed isolation has led to the isolation of (-)-ent-costunolide (1) as the major active compound from Hepatostolonophora paucistipula. This compound (1) was determined by spectroscopic data interpretation. This sesquiterpene lactone (1) inhibited the growth of the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 28185, (4 mm inhibition zone at $15{\mu}g$/disc), cytotoxic activity to murine leukaemia cell lines ATCC CCL 46 P 388D1 ($IC_{50}$ 687 ng/ml, at $0.075{\mu}g$/disk), BSC monkey kidney cell lines (100% of well at $15{\mu}g$/disk) and antiviral activity to Herpes simplex virus (0.25 mg/ml, 100% of well at $7.5{\mu}g$/disk) and Polio virus (0.125 mg/ml, 100% of well at $3.75{\mu}g$/disk). These results suggest that (-)-ent-costunolide (1) has potential antimicrobial and cytotoxic agents.

In a previous study, we reported that 13(E)-labd-13-ene-$8{\alpha}$,15-diol (13E) possesses antiviral and anticancer activities. In this study, the anticancer and antimicrobial activities of 13(E) were evaluated against 4 cancer cell lines and 6 bacteria. 13(E) showed inhibitory effect on a variety of cancer cell lines. The $IC_{50}$ values was 8.3-21.3 ${\mu}g/mL$. 13(E) was the most effective growth inhibitor of murine leukaemia cell lines P388, producing approximately 8.3 ${\mu}g/mL$ of $IC_{50}$ in the cytopathic effect (CPE) method. 13(E) also inhibited the growth of the gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus and Listeria monocytogenes) and gram-negative bacteria (Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis) with a range of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values from 0.092 to 0.598 mg/mL and gram-negative bacteria were more sensitive to the compound (MIC, 0.092 mg/mL).
