New Cytotoxic Cucurbitacins fromWilbrandia ebracteataCogn.
Planta Medica, 2011 Chemical investigation of the roots of Wilbrandia ebracteata Cogn. (Cucurbitaceae) led to the isolation of two new (1- 2) and four known (3- 6) cucurbitacins. Their structures were elucidated by NMR and MS and compared with related compounds. The in vitro cytotoxicity of isolated compounds was evaluated against RD, KB, HCT-8, and A549 cell lines ...
