RESUMO
Four new nortriterpenoid alkaloids, namely buxrugulines E-H (1-4), along with five known ones (5-9), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Buxus rugulosa. Their structures were identified based on extensive NMR data and MS spectroscopic analyses. Our bioassays revealed that compounds 5, 6 and 8 exhibited potent cytotoxicity in vitro against MCF-7 cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 6.70 to 11.00 µM, respectively.

Buxrugulosides A-E, four lignan glycosides (1-4) and a protocatechuate derivative (5) featuring a rare (N, N-diethyl)methyl amino group at aromatic rings, were obtained from the aerial parts of Buxus rugulosa, which is famous for treating coronary heart disease. Their structures including absolute configurations were elucidated by HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR, and by comparing their CD data with previous reports. Compound 1 was a rare sesquilignan, and all of these compounds were the first example of lignans with (N, N-diethyl)methyl amino group.

Vernoramyosides A-F (1-6), six new Δ7,9(11) stigmastane-type steroid saponins, along with four known analogues (7-10) were isolated from the leaves of Vernonia amygdalina Delile (Compositae). Their structures were determined by the combination of NMR, ECD and HR-ESI-MS data. These compounds all possessed highly oxidized side chain and a γ-lactam or α,ß-unsaturated five-membered lactone ring. All isolates were screened for their activities in reversing resistance in MCF/DOX cells.
