Deskripsi

Five new cucurbitane-typetriterpenoid glycosides, named Xuedanoside F&#8722;J (<b>1</b>&#8722;<b>5</b>), were obtained from the rhizomes of <i>Hemsleya penxianensis</i> (Xue dan), which belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae. These new compounds were elucidated byspectroscopic analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS spectra. Additionally, all the isolates were evaluated for cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines (Hela, MCF-7, and A-549) with the IC<sub>50</sub> ranging from 2.25 to 49.44 &#181;M in vitro with treatment 48 h and showed low cytotoxicity in human normal liver L-02 cells (IC<sub>50</sub> &gt; 50 &#181;M). Compound <b>5</b> showed the most significant cytotoxic activity with the IC<sub>50</sub> value of 2.25, 4.72, and 5.33 &#181;M in 48 h, respectively.
