Triterpenoids from Aglaia abbreviata and their cytotoxic activities

J Nat Prod. 2010 Dec 27;73(12):2042-6. doi: 10.1021/np100599g. Epub 2010 Nov 18.

Abstract

Six new triterpenoids (1-6), along with 10 known compounds, were isolated from the stems of Aglaia abbreviata. The structures of 1-6 were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data. Compounds 1-6 were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against a small panel of human tumor cell lines.
