RESUMEN
From the MeOH residue of Barringtonia macrocarpa branches and leaves, one new isoryanodane diterpene, barringisol (1), and two new isoryanodane diterpene glucosides, barringisosides A and B (2 and 3), were obtained using various chromatographic isolations. The structural characterization was confirmed by spectroscopic methods including 1D, 2D NMR and HR-ESI-QTOF-MS. This is the first isolation of isoryanodane diterpene derivatives from Barringtonia species. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity of 1-3 on three human cancer cell lines (HepG2, LNCaP and MCF7) was also accessed using SRB assays.
RESUMEN
Phytochemical investigation of a methanol extract of Panax pseudoginseng flower buds resulted in the isolation of 22 dammarane-type triterpenoid saponins, including three new compounds, pseudoginsenosides A-C (1-3), and 19 known analogs. Their chemical structures were identified by the comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including 1 D and 2 D NMR and mass spectra. In addition, their cytotoxic effects toward three human carcinoma cell lines, including liver (HepG2), breast (MCF7), and lung (A549) were also evaluated.

Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Lycopodiella cernua resulted in the isolation and identification of three new compounds (1-3), namely lycocernuaside E (1), lycernuic ketone F (2), and lycernuic B (3) and 12 known ones (4-15). Their chemical structures were established based on 1 D/2D NMR spectroscopic and HR-ESI-MS data analyses. Compounds 5, 12, and 13 displayed NO inhibitory effects in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells, with IC50 values of 21.2 ± 1.1, 28.5 ± 1.4, and 21.9 ± 1.1 µM, respectively. In addition, cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against MCF7 (breast carcinoma), HepG2 (hepatocarcinoma), and SK-Mel2 (melanoma) cancer cell lines were also reported.

In our search for anti-inflammatory constituents from Vietnamese plants, the methanolic extract of Helicteres viscida was found to exhibit inhibitory effect on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells. Phytochemical investigation of this plant led to isolation of four sulphated flavones (1-4), including one new compound 5,3',4'-trihydroxy-7-methoxy-8-O-sulphate flavone (1), and two pregnane-type steroids (5 and 6), including one new compound 7-epi-heligenin B (5). Their structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR as well as HR-QTOF-MS experiments. Among isolated compounds, heligenin B (6) exhibited potent inhibitory effect on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells with IC50 of 1.23 ± 0.05 µM. The activity of 6 was comparable to that of the positive control cardamonin.

Sixteen sesquiterpenoids (1 - 16), including two new compounds namely saussucostusosides A and B (1 and 2), were isolated from the roots of Saussurea costus by various chromatographic separations. Their structures were elucidated by 1 D and 2 D NMR and HR-QTOF-MS experiments. Among isolated compounds, costunlide (6), 3ß-[4-hydroxymethacryloyloxy]-8α-hydroxycostunolide (10) and 11ß,13-dihydrozaluzanin C (16) exhibited potent inhibitory effects on LPS-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells with IC50 values of 7.08 ± 0.34, 2.40 ± 0.06 and 5.55 ± 0.24 µM, respectively.

Chemical investigation of the aerial parts of Andrographis paniculata resulted in isolation of nine compounds, including a new ent-labdane diterpenoid, andrographic acid methyl ester (1), a new chalcone glucoside, pashanone glucoside (5), and seven known metabolites, andrograpanin (2), andrographolide (3), andropanolide (4), andrographidine A (6), andrographidine F (7), 6-epi-8-O-acetyl-harpagide (8), and curvifloruside F (9). Their chemical structures were elucidated based on comprehensive analyses of the spectroscopic data, including NMR and MS. Among the isolated compounds, andropanolide exerted cytotoxicity toward LNCaP, HepG2, KB, MCF7, and SK-Mel2 carcinoma cells, with IC50 values ranging from 31.8 to 45.9 µM. In addition, andropanolide significantly inhibited the overproduction of nitric oxide (NO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages, with an IC50 value of 13.4 µM.
