Özet:  Plectranthus is known for its medicinal value . The paper describes the antibacterial and cytotoxic activity of diterpenoids ent -7-hydroxykaur-15,16-en-19-oic acid (1), 17-oxokaur-15,16-en-19-oic acid (2) and ent-7-hydroxy-15,16-epoxykauran-19-oic acid (3), isolated from the shade-dried and powdered leaves of Indian Plactranthus coesta. Diterpenoid 3 was isolated for the first time from Indian P. coesta . Diterpenoid 1, shows potent activity against E. coli (15.6 µg/mL), P. aureginosa (17 µg/mL) and K. planticola (32.5 µg/mL), while diterpenoid 2, also showed good activity against E. coli (61 µg/mL), P. aureginosa (61 µg/mL), K. planticola (61 µg/mL) and S. epidermidis (125 µg/mL). Diterpenoids 1-3 were found to be more efficacious on U87 cancer cells and less toxic on normal human HEK and HeLa cells.
