Abstract

Two new cardenolides, (-)-14-hydroxy-3β-(3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-α-L-rhamnosyl)-11α, 12α-epoxy-(5β, 14β, 17βH)-card-20 (22)-enolide (1), (-)-14-hydroxy-3β-(3-O-methyl-6-deoxy-α-L-glucopyranosyl)-11α, 12α-epoxy-(5β, 14β, 17βH)-card-20(22)-enolide (2), and a known cardenolide, (-)-17β-neriifolin (3), were isolated from the roots of Cerbera manghas as antiproliferative and anti-estrogenic principles when evaluated against a human colon cancer cell line (Col2) and the Ishikawa cell line, respectively. Two known lignans, (-)-olivil (4) and (-)-cycloolivil (5), were also isolated but were inactive in the assay systems used. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
