  • Title: Discovery of new triterpenoids from Leptopus clarkei and their antiproliferative activity on cancer cells.
    Author: Chu DH, Qi SZ, Gao HY, Wang M.
    Journal: Chem Biodivers; 2024 Feb; 21(2):e202301572. PubMed ID: 38145473.
    Abstract:
    Two new triterpenoids (1-2), along with six known analogues (3-8) were obtained from the dried whole plant of Leptopus clarkei. Compound 1 is a 3,4-seco-lupane-type triterpenoid, and compound 2 is a phenylpropanoid-conjugated pentacyclic triterpenoid possessing trans-p-coumaroyl unit attached to oleanane-type skeleton. This is the first report on chemical investigation of the L. clarkei, and the triterpenoid derivatives were found in this plant for the first time. The structures of the new compounds were unequivocally elucidated by HRESIMS and 1D/2D NMR data. Additionally, the isolated compounds were evaluated for theircytotoxicities against four cancer cell lines including HepG2, MCF-7, A549 and HeLa. Notably, compound 2 exhibited the most significant antiproliferative activity with IC50 less than 20 μM for four cancer lines.
