The activity-guided purification of the plant extract resulted in the isolation of six compounds, including two active substances. The chemical structures of the compounds isolated were established by chemical and spectrometric analyses as dotriacontane, totarol, 8β-hydroxy-3-oxopimar-15-ene, cedrol (IC50 = 1.3 × 10-5M), pinusolide (IC50 = 2.52 × 10-7M), and 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone. Key words Biota orientalis - Cupressaceae - platelet-activating factor (PAF) - diterpenoids - flavonoid - dotriacontane - totarol - 8β-hydroxy-3-oxopimar-15-ene - pinusolide - cedrol - 5-hydroxy-7,4′-dimethoxyflavone PDF (383 kb)
