Two new glabretal triterpenes, pancastatins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the immature fruits of Poncirus trifoliata. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses including one- and two-dimensional NMR and high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited selective cytotoxicity against PANC-1 pancreatic cancer cells under low-glucose stress conditions.

Two new compounds including one apotirucallane protolimonoid, xylogranatriterpin A (1), and one glabretal protolimonoid, xylocarpusin A (2), along with three known related compounds were isolated from the twigs and leaves of the Chinese mangrove Xylocarpus granatum. The apotirucallane xylogranatriterpin A (1) bears an unprecedented 24-ketal carbon connecting ring E with an epoxide ring. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of the spectroscopic data with those reported in the literatures.

Pancastatin A and B Have Selective Cytotoxicity on Glucose-Deprived PANC-1 Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells.

J Microbiol Biotechnol

School of Bioconvergence, Kyungnam University, Changwon 51767, Republic of Korea.

Glucose deprivation and hypoxia frequently occur in solid tumor cells, including pancreatic cancer cells. Glucose deprivation activates the unfolded protein response (UPR) and causes the upregulation of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). Induction of GRP78 has been shown to protect cancer cells.
