Three New Oleanane-Type Triterpenes from Ludwigia octovalvis with Cytotoxic Activity against Two Human Cancer Cell Lines

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Three new oleanane-type triterpenes, (23Z)-coumaroylhederagenin (1), (23E)-coumaroylhederagenin (2), and (3Z)-coumaroylhederagenin (3), together with two known triterpene acids, oleanolic acid and ursolic acid, have been isolated from the whole plant of Ludwigia octovalvis, and their structures have been elucidated by spectroscopic methods. All three new triterpenes showed significant cytotoxicity against two human tumor cell lines, namely, oral epidermoid carcinoma KB and colorectal carcinoma HT29, and gave IC50 values in the range 1.2-3.6 μM.
