Investigation of the whole plant of Isodon excisus resulted in the isolation of two new Apoptosis inhibitors (1 and 2). Compounds 1 and 2 inhibited etoposide-induced Apoptosis in U937 cells with IC50 values of 10.2 and 52.4 microg/mL, respectively. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined by spectral data interpretation.
