Three new C(21)-steroidal glycosides presenting an unusual 13,14:14,15-disecopregnane-type skeleton, named inamosides A-C (1-3), together with two known C(21)-steroidal glycosides, were isolated from the MeOH extract of the roots of Cynanchum inamoeum (Maxim.) Loes (Asclepiadaceae). The aglycone of compounds 1, 2, and 3 has a 2beta-hydroxyl, which has not yet been reported in the literature. The structure and relative configuration of the aglycone of compounds 1, 2, and 3 were established by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Phytochemical investigation of the chloroform extract of the roots of (Asclepiadaceae) led to the isolation of a new cardiac aglycone, characterised as Cynanchin A (1), as well as one known cardenolide (2) and nine known C21 steroidal glycosides (3-10), Their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR spectra referring to the literature, together with high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis. In the present research, the cytotoxic activities of the 11 compounds on five different human cancer cell lines (HL-60, SMMC-7721, A-549, MCF-7 and SW480) were evaluated . Most of the tested compounds showed potent inhibitory activities towards the five cell lines.

A series of C steroidal glycosides were isolated from the root bark of , including a new compound, perisepiumoside A1 (), and six known compounds (). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of HR-ESI-MS, and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. All these compounds were tested for their NO production inhibitory activity in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.

is clinically used for the treatment of esophageal cancer, lung cancer, cancerous melanoma, asthma, pleural disorders, ascites, and pertussis, among other conditions. In this study, 12 steroids were obtained and identified from , and cynsaccatol L (), which showed the best effects in terms of inhibiting the proliferation of HepG2 cells and the immune regulation of macrophages. Furthermore, induced typical apoptotic characteristics in HepG2 cells, such as morphological changes and the caspase cascade, as well as inducing autophagy-dependent apoptosis via mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation.

Five new C -steroidal sapogenins (1-5) named cynotogenins J-N, were isolated from the acid hydrolysate of Cynanchum otophyllum roots. Their structures were established by extensive spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, HR-ESI-MS, and NMR). Most notably, compounds 1-3 harboring a rare 5β,6β-epoxy group in the C -steroidal skeleton of Cynanchum plants.
