Antifibrotic activity of diterpenes from Biota orientalis leaves on hepatic stellate cells

Abstract: Antifibrotic effect of twelve diterpenes (1-12) from the 90% methanolic fraction of Biota orientalis leaves was evaluated employing HSC-T6 cells by assessing cell proliferation and morphological change. Among these diterpenes, totarol (8) and isopimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (9) dramatically reduced cell proliferation in dose-and time-dependent manner. Furthermore, treatment with these compounds resulted in the different pattern of morphological changes of HSC-T6 cells. Taken together, antiproliferative act… Show more

“…This indigenous plant has been used as a Korean traditional medicine for the treatment of hypertension, hematemesis, epistaxis, and hemorrhoids [1]. Diterpenoids [2], essential oils [3], lignans [4], and flavonoids [5] were isolated from this plant and some of them showed neuroprotective [4], antiaggregative [6], antifibrotic [2], and fungitoxic [3] activities. In the course of our continuing search for biologically active compounds from natural Korean medicinal sources, we investigated MeOH extracts of the leaves of T. orientalis.…”

“…In relation to liver fibrosis, a diverse array of natural products including flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids have been suggested to have antifibrotic activity [5][6][7][8].There is therefore a growing interest in searching for antifibrotic compounds from natural products with lower adverse effects.…”

“…Napthoquinone derivatives of phlomisoic acid methyl ether ( 4 ) were found to exhibite cytotoxic activity against human tumor cells . Oleoresin of P. sibirica and Biota orientalis yielded the product of oxidative metabolism at the C‐16 atom of labdanoid core, pinusolide ( 5 ) . Pinusolide attenuated the neurotoxic effect of staurosporine in primary cultures of rat cortical cells .…”
