J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2016 Sep;18(9):871-7. doi: 10.1080/10286020.2016.1171756. Epub 2016 May 13.

Abstract

Two new sesquiterpenoid glycosides, lyciumionosides A-B (1-2), together with four known compounds (3-6), were isolated from the leaves of Lycium barbarum. Their structures were mainly established on the basis of MS, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques. The antiproliferative activities of compounds 1-5 were evaluated. Compound 1 showed highest inhibitory activity against A549 cells with IC50 value of 32.6 ± 2.6 μM, compound 3 showed highest inhibitory activity against PC-3 cells with IC50 value of 36.0 ± 2.9 μM, and compound 5 exhibited highest inhibitory activity against HeLa cells with IC50 value of 32.3 ± 4.2 μM.

Keywords: Lycium barbarum; Solanaceae; antiproliferative activities; sesquiterpenoid glycosides.
