Abstract
The phytochemical investigation of the roots of Dregea sinensis Hemsl yielded six new polyhydroxy steroidal glycosides (1-6). The chemical structures have been elucidated on the basis of extensive one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, as well as by mass spectrometry. The cytotoxic activity of these compounds were evaluated in vitro while compounds 3 and 4 showed weak activity against human leukemia cells (HL-60) with IC50 values of 14.10 μM and 19.16 μM, respectively.
