Despite progress in chemotherapeutic agents, non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) still have a poor survival rate. Thus, development of new therapeutic strategies, specifically against cancer cells is still required. For this purpose, we treated the non-small cell lung cancer cell line NSCLC-N6 with
[reaction: see text] A new (23S,24Z)-16,23-epoxy cucurbitacin derivative was isolated from Ecballium elaterium L. (Cucurbitaceae) fruit juice along with known cucurbitacin derivatives. Structure elucidation of these derivatives was accomplished by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry from HPLC-MS
