摘要

Medicinal plants are an invaluable source of specialized metabolites with unique and complex chemical structures. This chemical diversity offers a rich resource for discovering new compounds with therapeutic potential. One notable example is Ageratina petiolaris, which produces a mixture of esters of 2α-hydroxyeperuic acid (1) in high quantity. The ent-labdane 2, a product of the alkaline hydrolysis of 1, possesses a chemical structure with promising therapeutic potential. In this work, aniline, cyclohexylamine, 4-chloroaniline, bencilamine, p-cinnamyl alcohol, phenol, 4-bromophenol, and 4-methoxyphenol were used to prepare ester and amide derivatives of 2 in a one-pot process aided with sonochemistry, yielding the respective compounds in moderate to good yields. Additionally, the antiproliferative potential of the amides and esters was tested in vitro against MCF-7, HeLa, A549, and K562 cancer cell lines. The results showed significant cytotoxic activity for almost all the evaluated derivatives, making them promising candidates for potential therapeutic agents against certain types of cancer.
