A new sesquiterpenoid with cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activity from the leaves of Datura metel L

A new sesquiterpenoid glycoside, consisting of one vetispirane-type, dmetelisproside A (1), together with two known megastigmane sesquiterpenoids, citroside A (2) and staphylionoside D (3) were isolated from the leaves of Datura metel L. The structures were determined by analysis of their MS and NMR data as well as by comparison with literature values. All isolates were evaluated for cytotoxicity toward SGC-7901, Hepg2, HeLa, MCF-7, and...
