Abstract
From remaining aqueous fraction of the roots of Streptocaulon juventas, one new cardiac glycoside named periplogenin 3-O-β-gentiobioside (1) together with six known ones (2–7) were isolated. Their relative structures were elucidated based on NMR spectroscopic analysis. Compound 1 showed moderate cytotoxicity against non-small cell lung carcinoma NCI-H460 and ovarian cancer HeLa cells. Moreover, compounds 2 and 3 exhibited remarkable cytotoxicity against NCI-H460 cell with the IC50 values of 0.34 and 0.068 μM, respectively.
