A new withanolide, physangulide B (1), was isolated from calyxes of Physalis angulata. This compound was also present in the aerial parts along with the known physangulide (4), which was isolated as the acetonide 3, and 24,25-epoxywithanolide D (6). Structures of these compounds were determined by analysis of their spectroscopic data, which indicated the presence of a 20,24-epoxy group in both physangulides. The structures of compounds 1 and 6 were confirmed by X-ray analysis of their corresponding acetyl derivatives 2 and 7. The structure of physangulide was originally described as the 22S withanolide 5, now its structure and configuration are revised to 4. Evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of compounds 1-3 against two human cancer cell lines indicated a potent activity of compound 1 and its derivative 2.

Article Synopsis
- - Vigna unguiculata, or cowpea, is a significant vegetable crop in Sanya, Hainan, China, but it faces threats from viral diseases like CPMMV, BCMV, and CPPV2 which negatively impact its growth and photosynthesis.
- - Weeds in the area, such as Sesbania cannabina and Physalis angulata, can act as virus hosts, complicating the situation for cowpea cultivation.
- - In July 2022, researchers collected these weeds, extracted their RNA, and identified a viral DNA sequence similar to CPMMV, indicating a link between the weeds and the viral disease affecting cowpeas.

Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) initiates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tubular and glomerular epithelial cells, resulting in excessive production and deposition of extracellular matrix through its interaction with TGF-β receptors, which play a crucial role in TGF-β signaling involving two receptor types, namely TGF-β type I (TβRI) and type II (TβRII). EMT contributes to the pathogenesis of interstitial renal fibrosis, a marker of end-stage kidney disease. This study aimed to identify the bioactive compounds in the active fraction of and evaluate their ability to inhibit the TGF-β activity and their potential as drug candidates.
