The plant has been reported to have furanic labdane diterpenes, sterols, iridoids and alkaloids etc. The ethanolic extract of leaves of Leonurus cardiaca yielded three new labdane type diterpenes, 15-ethyl-leopersine C, 15-methyl-leopersine C and 15-methyl-epi-leopersine C.“ [New labdane diterpenes from Leonurus cardiaca.
