We previously demonstrated that beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl echinocystic acid (codonoposide 1c), a biologically active compound isolated from the roots of Codonopsis lanceolata, is cytotoxic to cancer cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of codonoposide
Triterpenoids echinocystic acid and its glycosides, isolated from several Eclipta prostrata, have been reported to possess various biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-diabetic activity. However, the cytotoxicity of the triterpenoids in human cancer cells and
Genuine saponins from Solidago virgaurea L., Heteropappus altaicus (Willd.) Novopokr., H. biennis (Ldb.) Tamamsch., and Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae) as well as related carbohydrate modified glycosides of polygalacic acid and echinocystic acid were investigated in view of their structure related
Three triterpene glycosides and two known ones were isolated from the bark of Albizia procera by using chromatographic techniques. The structures of the compounds were determined to be 3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl
In this study, we aimed to identify the compounds in Eclipta prostrata responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects using an in vitro bioassay. Three triterpenoids, eclalbasaponin I, eclalbasaponin II, and echinocystic acid, were isolated from an EtOAc fraction of the 70 % EtOH extract of E.
A new terthiophene, 3'-hydroxy-2,2':5',2″-terthiophene-3'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and a new oleanane-type saponin, echinocystic acid-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside (7) were isolated from the aerial parts of Eclipta prostrata L. Moreover, five thiophenes (2-6), seven triterpenoids (8-14), two
Echinocystic acid (EA), a natural triterpone enriched in various herbs, has been showed to have cytotoxic activity in some cancer cells, and is used for medicinal purpose in many Asian countries. In the present study, we found that EA could induce apoptosis in human HepG2 cells, as characterized by
The Australian plant Acacia ligulata has a number of traditional food and medicinal uses by Australian Aboriginal people, although no bioactive compounds have previously been isolated from this species. Bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanolic extract of the mature pods of A. ligulata led to
Three previously undescribed oleanane-type triterpenoidal saponins named caspicaosides L-N were isolated from the fruits of Gleditsia caspica Desf. The aglycons of these saponins were echinocystic acid, erythrodiol and 12-oleanene-3,28,30-triol. Caspicaoside L is a bisdesmosidic saponin acylated
Three new triterpene glucosides, named congmuyenosides C-E (1-3, resp.), along with four known ones, were isolated from an EtOH extract of Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem. leaves. The structures of the new compounds were identified as
Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Aralia elata has led to the isolation of four new compounds, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl oleanolic acid (1), 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→3)]-[β-D-glucopyranosyl (1→2)]-β-d-glucopyranosyl
Four bisdesmosidic triterpenoid saponins named caspicaosides A-D, were isolated from the fruits of Gleditsia caspica Desf. Their structures were determined by NMR spectroscopy including HOHAHA, ¹H-¹H COSY, ROE, HMQC, HMBC experiments and HRFAB-MS as well as acid hydrolysis. The four
Genuine saponins of Solidago virgaurea L., Heteropappus altaicus (Willd.) Novopokr., Heteropappus biennis (Ldb.) Tamamsch. and Helianthus annuus L. (Asteraceae) as well as related carbohydrate modified glycosides of polygalacic acid and echinocystic acid and some commercial available triterpenoid
Aralia elata has long been used as a tonic, anticancer and antidiabetic agent in China and Japan, and is widely consumed as food. Phytochemical investigation of the leaves of A. elata has led to the isolation of four new compounds, 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl(1 → 3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl] echinocystic acid
Bioassay-guided fractionation of an active n-BuOH extract of the whole plant of Ixeris sonchifolia, using a cytotoxicity assay, resulted in the isolation of three new triterpenoid saponins, ixeris saponins A (1), B (2), and C (3). On the basis of chemical evidence and extensive spectral studies,
