Boiss. The structures of 1-6, 7a/7b, and 8a/8b were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence, such as MS, NMR, UV, and IR spectroscopy. All isolated compounds, except for 5 and 8a/8b, were assayed for their antiproliferative activities against three human cancer cell lines, i.e. cervical (HeLa), breast (MCF-7), and lung (A549), and a normal human lung cell line (BEAS-2B) using MTT method. Compounds 1, 4, and 6 showed significant inhibitory effects on cancer cell growth at 20 ?g/mL concentration, with cell viability ranging from 53 to 64 % against MCF-7 cell line. In addition, compounds 4, and 6 exhibited cytotoxicity against HeLa cancer cell line with the viability of approximately 64 %. In conclusion, compounds 1, 4, and 6 may serve as leads for further research towards the development of anticancer agents. © 2020en10.1016/j.phytol.2020.01.003info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAntiproliferative effectChrysophthalmum montanumMTT assaySesquiterpene lactoneArticle36173182Q2WOS:000535175100032Q3
