چکیده
The two new lignans 3α-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)desoxypodophyllotoxin (1) and 4-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)dehydropodophyllotoxin (2) were isolated from Cleistanthus boivinianus, together with the known lignans deoxypicropodophyllotoxin (3), (±)-β-apopicropodophyllin (4), (-)-desoxypodophyllotoxin (5), (-)-yatein (6), and β-peltatin-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7). The structures of all compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques. Compounds 1, 4, and 5 showed potent antiproliferative activities against the A2780 ovarian cancer cell line, with IC50 values of 33.0 ± 3.6, 63.1 ± 6.7, and 230 ± 1 nM, respectively. Compounds 2 and 7 showed only modest A2780 activities, with IC50 values of 2.1 ± 0.3 and 4.9 ± 0.1 μM, respectively, while compounds 3 and 6 had IC50 values of >10 μM. Compound 1 also had potent antiproliferative activity against the HCT-116 human colon carcinoma cell line, with an IC50 value of 20.5 nM, and compound 4 exhibited modest antiproliferative activity against the A2058 human caucasian metastatic melanoma and MES-SA human uterine sarcoma cell lines, with IC50 values of 4.6 and 4.0 μM, respectively.

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 ...
