Antiproliferative Trihydroxyalkylcyclohexenones from Pleiogynium timoriense

Investigation of a DCM extract of the bark of Pleiogynium timoriense from the former Merck collection of natural product extracts for antiproliferative activity indicated that it was active with an IC50 value of 1.3 μg/mL against the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line. Bioassay-directed fractionation of this extract yielded the three new bioactive trihydroxyalkylcyclohexenones 1-3. Their structures...

Cycloartanes from Euphorbia aellenii Rech. f. with Their Antiproliferative activity

The cytotoxic chloroform fraction of Euphorbia aellenii afforded two cycloartane type triterpenes — cycloart-25-en-3,24-diol (1) and 24-methylene-cycloartan-3-ol (2) — for the first time from this plant. Preparation of cycloartane derivatives, 3, 24-O-diacetyl-cycloart-25-en as compound 3 and 3-O-acetyl-24-methylene-cycloartan (4) were conducted by acetylating of 1 and 2, respectively. The ...

Antiproliferative withanolides from Datura wrightii.

A new withanolide, named withawrightolide (1), and four known withanolides (2-5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Datura wrightii. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated through 2D NMR and other spectroscopic techniques. In addition, the structure of withametelin L (2) was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Using MTS viability assays, withanolides 1-5 showed antiproliferati...
