Abstract
Two new lignans, termed pharsyringaresinol (1) and pharbilignoside (2), a new phenylethanoid glycoside, termed pharbiniloside (3), and 22 known compounds, were isolated from the ethanol extract of the seeds of Pharbitis nil. The structures of the new compounds (1-3) were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses, including 2D-NMR and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy studies. Among the isolates, compounds 2, 11, 12, and 24 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines (A549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, and HCT-15) with IC(50) values ranging from 8.07 to 28.30 µM. In addition, compounds 11, 12 and 24 potently inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 cells, a microglia cells with IC(50) values ranging from 14.7 to 19.9 µM.
