Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Micromeria persica led to the isolation of a new oleane type triterpenoid ester (1), together with six known compounds 2–7), comprising one phenyl ethanoid ester, one glycosylated flavonoid, two triterpenoids, and two steroids. Their structures were elucidated by interpretation of their one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR spectra and completed by the analysis of the HRESIMS data. Compounds 1 and 3 were evaluated for their cytotoxic feature against human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MDA-MB231) and human prostate cancer cell line (DU145). However, they did not show positive effect (IC50 > 75µM).
