A detailed phytochemical investigation of a dichloromethane extract of the resinous exudates of the cushion bush plant (Leucophyta brownii) resulted in the isolation of the new 8,12-guaianolides leucophytalins A (5) and B (6), the new 1,10-seco-eudesmane leucophytalin C (10), six rare 8,12-guaianolides (1-4, 7, and 8), and the xanthanolide tomentosin (9). The structures of all isolated compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric analyses. The structures of compounds isolated in crystalline form, including leucophytalins A and C, were further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The crude extract exhibited moderate cytostatic activity against a breast cancer (MCF-7) and human colon cancer (HT-29) cell line with IC₅₀ values of 9.3 and 18 μg/mL, respectively, and anti-inflammatory activity against the macrophage-like cell line RAW 264.7 with IC₅₀ values of 3.9 and 6.1 μg/mL for thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin E2 production, respectively. The isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytostatic activity against MCF-7 and HT-29 cells (1, 3-10) and their anti-inflammatory activity against RAW 264.7 cells (1-10). All isolated compounds are most likely derived from (+)-germacrene A, and a biosynthetic pathway is proposed for these sesquiterpenoids.
