Abstract

Three new thiohydantoins with a 2-thioxoimidazolidin-4-one nucleus, named macathiohydantoins P–R (1–3), along with one known analog (4), were isolated from the roots of Lepidium meyenii. Their structures were elucidated by means of analysis of extensive spectroscopic data, including 1D NMR, 2D NMR and HRESIMS. The thiohydantoins (1–4) were isolated as racemic mixtures, which were further separated by chiral semi-preparative HPLC to afford the corresponding enantiomers. Their absolute configuration of C-5 was assigned by comparison of optical rotation values with those reported in the literature. All thiohydantoin derivatives were evaluated for their cytotoxicities against five human cancer cell lines.
