Abstract
Two new tetralone glycosides, 4(S)-5-methoxy juglanoside A (1), 4(S)-5-methoxy juglanoside D (2), together with ten known compounds (3–12) have been isolated from the green walnut husks of Juglans mandshurica Maxim. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of their ESI-MS, 1 D and 2 D NMR spectroscopic data. In addition, all compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against the cancer BGC-823 (human gastric carcinoma), HCT-15 (human colorectal carcinoma) and K562 (human chronic myeloid leukemia) cell lines. The results showed aglycones of naphthoquinones had stronger cytotoxic activities than glycosides of tetralone.
