Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Two unusual glycosidic triterpene alkaloids, machilaminosides A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from the stem barks of Machilus yaoshansis. Their structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis. A possible biogenetic origin of 1 and 2 mediated by the coupling of 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-cucurbitacin I, respectively, with urea and adenosine was postulated. 1 and 2 showed nonselective cytotoxic activities against several human cancer cell lines as well as TNF-α secretion inhibitory activities. © 2007 American Chemical Society.
