Abstract

A new acylcic deterpene (1) and a known acyclic diterpene 12(S)-hydroxygeranyleraniol (2) were isolated form the aerial parts of Carpesium divaricatum. The structure of 1 was determined to be (2E, 10E)-1, 12-dihydroxy-18-acetoxy-3,7,15-trimethylhexadeca-2,10,14-triene (1) on the basis of spectroscopic studies. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines, A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF498, and $HCT_{15}$, with $ED_{50}$ values ranging from 4.3-10.2 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 4.1-8.3 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively.
