Abstract

Two previously undescribed triterpenoids, herpetosin A () and herpetosin B (), together with two known compounds, cucurbitacin B () and dihydrocucurbitacin E (), were isolated from the seeds of Their structures were elucidated by analysis of the NMR, HR-ESI-MS, X-ray data and quantum chemical calculation. Compound featured an unprecedented nor-cucurbitane triterpenoid skeleton with a 5/6/6/5 ring system. Among all the isolates, compound exhibited anti-proliferative effect with IC values of 4.5 ± 0.1 M against A549 cells, 8.2 ± 0.5 M against MDA-MB-231 cells, and 2.4 ± 0.3 M against HepG2 cells, respectively.
