Four new steroids, chouchunsteride A-D (1-4), together with four known steroids (5-8), were isolated from the leaves of Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle. Their structures were elucidated based on spectroscopic data analysis, while the relative and absolute configurations were determined via acetonide analysis and quantum chemical ECD calculations. All isolated steroids were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against two hepatoma carcinoma cell lines (HepG2, Hep3B). Among them, 1 exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells with an IC value of 4.03 μM.
