Characterization and Cradiovascular Effects of (13S)-9α,13α-epoxylabda-6β(19),15(14)diol dilactone, a Diterpenoid Isolated from Leonotis leonurus
(South African Chemical Institute, 2008)
A new diterpenoid, (13S)-9 ,13 -epoxylabda-6 (19),15(14)diol dilactone (1), was isolated from Leonotis leonurus and the structure determined via NMR analysis. The compound causes significant changes in blood pressure of ...
Inorganic ions in leonotis leonurus extract do not explain changes in isolated Wistar rat heart function
(Open Access Science Research Publisher, 2011)
Leonotis leonurus (L. leonurus) R. Br (Lamiaceae) is used by healers in South Africa. The present study was conducted to determine if the L. leonurus effect on isolated rat heart is due to ionic changes in the perfusion fluid.
