ABSTRACT
As part of our chemical studies on the medical plants in Uzbekistan aimed at searching for new drug leads, we have examined the aerial parts of Mediasia macrophylla. This has resulted in the isolation of four new glucosides, together with 30 known compounds. The structures of new compounds were elucidated as (1'S)-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethane-1',2'-diol 2'-O-ß-glucopyranoside (1), 3-(4'-methoxyphenyl)-propanol 1-O-ß-glucopyranoside (2), 2-methoxy-3-hydroxy-5-(E)-propenyl-phenol 1-O-ß-glucopyranoside (3), 1-O-angeloyl-ß-glucopyranose (4), on the basis of spectral analysis.

The ethyl acetate-soluble fraction from a MeOH extract of the roots of Ferula varia gave six new sesquiterpene lactones (1-6) and five known sesquiterpenes (7-11). Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The cytotoxic activities of 1-11 were evaluated against selected human cancer cell lines. Compound 4 showed significant selective cytotoxicity against multidrug-resistant cancer cells (KB-C2). The cytotoxicities of compounds 1, 3, 5, 8, and 11 against KB-C2 cells were enhanced in the presence of nontoxic concentrations of colchicine.
