RESUMO
Present study was focused on the chemical constituents of the stems and leaves of Salvia yunnanensis C . H. Wright and their anti-angiogeneic activities. The compounds were isolated by column chromatography over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20, and other isolation techniques. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis and chemical evidences. Their anti-angiogeneic activities were evaluated by the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) neovascularisation model. Seven compounds were separated and identified as ( + ) -spathulenol( 1), 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavanone(2) , beta-amyrin(3), 3 beta-hydroxy-12-ursene(4), 2alpha,3 beta-dihydroxyursa-12-en-28-oic acid(5), ursolic acid (6) and 3-oxo-12-ursen-28-oic acid (7). Compounds 1, 2, 5 and 6 were obtained from this plant for the first time. Compounds 5 (an oleanane compound) and 6 (an ursane compound) could inhibit angiogenesis significantly in a dose-dependent manner.
