A lanostane triterpenoid and three cholestane sterols from Tilia kiusiana

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2014;62(9):937-41. doi: 10.1248/cpb.c14-00200.

Abstract

Kiusianins A-D (1-4) were isolated from the leaves of a Japanese endemic plant, Tilia kiusiana, together with 14 known compounds. The structures of a new lanostane-type triterpenoid 1 and three new cholestane-type sterols 2-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including two dimensional (2D) NMR. All the compounds isolated were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against two human cancer cell lines, HeLa and HL-60.
