Two dammarane glycosides (1-2) were isolated from the leaves of Cyclocarya paliurus. The structures of new compounds were established by application of spectroscopic methods, including one-dimensional and two-dimensional NMR, HRESIMS, and chemical hydrolysis. When evaluated against seven human cancer cell lines, the two compounds exhibited selective cytotoxicity to MCF-7 cells.[Formula: see text].
Keywords: Cyclocarya paliurus; cytotoxic activities; triterpenoid glycosides.
