ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the chemical constituents from Sinopodophyllum hexandrum and their antitumor activities. Methods: The constituents were separated by chromatography of silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH20 and pre-TLC. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic means. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds were studied by MTT method. Results: Nine compounds were isolated and identified as 8,2'-diprenylquercetin 3-methyl ether-4'-O-β-D-glucoside (1), 8,2'-diprenyl quercetin-3- methylether (2), 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-3-methoxy flavone (3), 8-prenylkaempferol (4), sophoflavescenol (5), podoverine A (6), sinoflavonoid K (7), diosmetin (8) and acacetin (9). Conclusion: Compound 1 is a new compound named sinoflavonoid glycosides A, and compounds 5-9 are isolated from S. hexandrum for the first time. Compounds 1-5 show cytotoxicities against HeLa cells with IC50 of 42.6, 46.9, 26.9, 16.1 and 31.2 μmol/L, respectively.
ABSTRACT
Two previously undescribed steroidal compounds, 16, 23-epoxy-22, 26-epimino-cholest-22(N), 23, 25(26)-trien-3β-ol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and 26-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(25R)-5α-furost-20(22)-en-3β, 26-diol (2), together with 7 known ones including 26-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(25R)-5, 20(22)-dien-furost-3β, 26-diol (3), (25R)-5-en-spirost-3β-ol-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[α-L-rhmanopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-galactopyranoside (4), funkioside D (5), aspidistrin (6), tigogenin-3-O-β-D-lucotrioside (7), desglucolanatigonin II (8), and degalactotigonin (9), were isolated from Solanum lyratum Thunb. Their cytotoxic activities were tested in two cancer cell lines by MTT method. One of the steroidal glycosides (6) showed significant cytotoxic activity against gastric cancer SGC7901 and liver cancer BEL-7402 cells.
