Abstract

Seven new resin glycosides, multifidins III (1)–IX (7), were isolated from the seeds of Quamoclit × multifida (syn. Q. sloteri House) (Convolvulaceae), along with five known glycosides, quamoclinic acid B methyl ester (8), operculin XIII (9), quamoclin I (10), QM-10 (11), and QM-12 (12). Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical evidence. These compounds were of two different types, i.e., those with macrolactone structures and those with non-macrolactone structures. Additionally, cytotoxic activity towards HL-60 human leukemia cells of 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, and 12 was evaluated. Among them, macrolactone-type resin glycosides (jalapins), 1, 2, and 9, specifically demonstrated clear cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 3.46, 14.7, and 10.9 μM, respectively.
