Three new triterpenoids, kadcotriones A-C (1-3), together with the biogenetically related lanostane-type triterpenoid (4), were isolated from Kadsura coccinea. Compound 1 features a 12,14β-dimethyl 6/6/6-fused tricyclic skeleton, while 2 and 3 are characterized by a 6/6/5-ring system. Their structures were determined by NMR and electronic circular dichroism spectroscopic methods. Compounds 2 and 4 exhibited anti-HIV-1 activities with EC50 values of 30.29 and 54.81 μM, respectively.
