RESUMEN
As part of the International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) program, in a search for antiproliferative compounds, an ethanol extract of Polyscias duplicata was investigated due to its antiproliferative activity against the A2780 human ovarian cell cancer line (IC50 6 µg/mL). Seven known oleanane glycosides, 3ß-[(α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-16α-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (1, IC50 8 µM), 3ß-[(α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-16α,23-dihydroxyolean-12-en-18-oic acid (2, IC50 13 µM), 3ß-[(O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(t-->3)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-16α-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (3, IC50 7 µM), 3ß-[(O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-16α-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (4, IC50 2.8 µM), 3ß-[(O-ß-D-glucopyranosyl-(l-->3)-α-L- arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (5, IC50 10 µM), ß-[(O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(-1.2)-α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (6, IC50 3.4 µM), and 3ß-[(α-L-arabinopyranosyl)oxy]-23-hydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid (7, IC50 3.4 µM) were isolated, and their structures determined using spectroscopic methods.

In a continuing collaboration in a search for new antiproliferative compounds in Madagascar as part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG), an ethanol extract of Molinaea retusa Radlk. (Sapindaceae) was investigated on the basis of its moderate antiproliferative activity against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line (IC50 16 microg/mL). One new compound, 2", 3", 4", 6'-de-O-acetylcupacinoside (1, IC50 15.4 microM) and two known compounds, cupacinoside (2, IC50 9.5 microM) and 6-de-O-acetylcupacinoside (3, IC50 10.9 microM), were isolated by bioassay-directed fractionation using liquid-liquid partitioning, column chromatography, and HPLC. Compounds 2 and 3 also had moderate antiplasmodial activities, with IC50 values of 4.0 and 6.4 microM, respectively, against Plasmodium falciparum, Dd2 strain. The structures were determined using spectroscopic methods.

Bioassay-guided fractionation of an ethanol extract of a Madagascar collection of the fruits of Cordyla madagascariensis ssp. madagascariensis led to the isolation of the four new cassane diterpenoids 1-4. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of all compounds were fully assigned using a combination of 2D NMR experiments, including COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and ROESY sequences. All of the isolates were tested against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line, and compounds 1 and 2 showed mild antiproliferative activity with IC50 values of 10 and 36 microM, respectively.
