A new cucurbitane - type triterpenoid from the bark of Kurz.

A new cucurbitacin, 3-(-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-5,6:16,23-diepoxycucurbit-24-en-11-one or hygrocucurbin A , along with two known compounds, including 3-(-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-16,23-epoxycucurbita-5,24-dien-11-one and (+)-lyoniresinol , were isolated from the bark of . Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic NMR, HR-IDA- TOF-MS analysis, and by comparison with the spectral data of corresponding compounds in the literature. Two cucurbitacins and were evaluated for their -glucosidase inhibitory activity and cytotoxic against KB, MCF-7, Hep G2, and A549 cancer cell lines.

Spermacosides a and B, two new triterpenoid saponins from burm.f.

Two new triterpenoid saponins, named spermacosides A-B (-), together with two known oleanane-type triterpenoid saponins, 3--D-xylopyranosyl-(1→3)-D-glucopyranosylbayogenin ( and 3---D-glucopyranosylbayogenin (), were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Burm.f. in a phytochemical investigation.
