Abstract

Phytochemical analysis of the fruits of Raphia vinifera led to the isolation of four new steroidal saponins (1–4), along with six known secondary metabolites (6–10). The structures of the isolated compounds were determined based on the analyses of NMR and mass spectrometric data, and chemical degradation reactions. Among the compounds tested, 1 and 4 showed the most promising cytotoxic activity against the drug-sensitive CCRF-CEM leukemia cell lines, with IC50 values of 3.55 µM and 7.14 µM, respectively.
