RESUMO
Bioactivity-guided isolation of the CHCl3-soluble fraction of the roots of Calotropis gigantea was carried out to obtain a new cardenolide glycoside, caloside G. Its absolute structure was elucidated based on NMR and ECD spectroscopic data interpretation. Caloside G showed noteworthy cytotoxicity against the PANC-1 human pancreatic and HeLa human cervical carcinoma cell lines, with the submicromolar IC50 values of 0.038 and 0.09 µM, respectively.

Phytochemical analysis of the roots of Calotropis gigantea led to the isolation of six new cardenolide glycosides, calosides A-F (1-6), and five known cardenolides (7-11). The structures of 1-6 were elucidated based on NMR and ECD spectroscopic data interpretation. Caloside D (4) is the first naturally occurring example of a cardenolide containing a C-8/C-19 oxygen bridge. In turn, calosides E (5) and F (6) represent the first naturally occurring 3-epi-cannogenol diglycosides having potent cytotoxicity against the PANC-1 cell line (IC50, 0.081 and 0.070 µM, respectively) and HeLa (IC50, both 0.17 µM) cells, under normoglycemic conditions.

A new lignan, 9'-methoxypinoresinol (1), and two new glycosylated 5-hydroxymethylfurfurals, calofurfuralside A (2), and calofurfuralside B (3), together with nine known compounds (4-12) have been isolated from the active fractions, CHCl3 (IC50, 0.32µgmL-1) and EtOAc (IC50, 0.55µgmL-1) fractions of the leaves of Calotropis gigantea. Their structures were elucidated based on NMR and MS data. Among the isolated compounds, compounds 1 and 9 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cell line under the normoglycemic condition with IC50 values of 3.7 and 3.3µM, respectively. 9'-Methoxypinoresinol (1) significantly inhibited the colony formation of PANC-1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner.
