摘要

A new sesquiterpene, tabsesquiterpene A (1) was isolated from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum. Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. Compound 1 was tested for its cytotoxicity. The results showed that 1 exhibited modest cytotoxicity against SHSY5Y, PC3 and MCF7 with IC50 values of 6.9, 4.5 and 8.8 mu M, respectively.
