Title: | Cytotoxic and antimicrobial screening of selected terpenoids from asteraceae species |
Authors: | Villareal, ML Navarro, V Delgado, G García, P Alvarez, L Alonso, D |
Issue Date: | 1994 |
Abstract: | Twelve pure compounds originally obtained through a systematic chemotaxonomical study with Mexican plants of the Asteraceae, were subjected to a cytotoxic and in vitro antimicrobial screening. Three different cell lines in culture (KB, KB-VI and P388) were used in the cytotoxicity assay, while antimicrobial activity was tested against Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as Candida albicans. Of the twelve terpenoids tested, only taraxasterol showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The significant cytotoxic activity exhibited by five sesquiterpene lactones, and the moderate cytotoxicity of an eudesmane, is discussed. |
