Two new pregnane glycosides, gyminosides A and B (1 and 2) and three known, tinctoroside B (3), tinctoroside C (4), and gymnepregoside F (5) were isolated from the leaves of Gymnema inodorum (Lour.) Decne. Their structures were elucidated by physical and chemical methods and comparing with those reported in the literature. All these compounds were evaluated for α-glucosidase assay. Compound 5 exhibited the most anti α-glucosidase activity with inhibitory percentage of 63.7 ± 3.9% at the concentration of 200 μM. Compounds 1–4 showed moderate anti α-glucosidase activity with inhibitory percentage ranging from 40.0 to 52.1%.

Two new (1–2) and two known C21 steroids (3–4) were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum atratum. Their structures were elucidated by detailed 1D and 2D spectroscopic. The MTT assay showed that compounds 1–4 displayed obvious cytotoxic activities against HepG2 cells with IC50 values ranging from 10.19?μM to 76.12?μM. Compounds 1–3 also exhibited cytotoxic effects in A549 cells with IC50 values of 30.87–95.39?μM. Compound 3 showed the antiproliferative activity via G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and proapoptosis in HepG2 cells by Flowcytometry analysis. Western blotting analysis revealed that compound 3 could induce HepG2 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway by downregulating Bcl-2 expression, upregulating Bax protein expression, and activating caspase-9 and caspase-3.

Ten novel C21 pregnane glycosides, extensumside C-L (1-10), were isolated as highly sweet-tasting substances from the edible pericarps of Myriopteron extensum (Wight) K. Schum by sensory-guided fractionation and purification. Their structures were determined through 1D and 2D NMR, such as HSQC, HMBC, 1H-1H COSY, HSQC-TOCSY, and ROESY, as well as other spectroscopic analysis combined with chemical evidence. These compounds shared the same aglycone, 3β,16α-dihydroxy-pregn-5-en-20-one, and contained the deoxysugar chain and the glucose chain which were linked to C-3 and C-16 of the aglycone, respectively. The sweetness potency was evaluated by a human sensory panel test and preliminary structure-taste relationship was discussed. The sweetness intensities of these compounds are between 50 and 400 times greater than that of sucrose. Furthermore, quantitation analyses of compounds 1, 3, 4, and 6 in different parts of M. extensum indicated that the concentrations of these sweet components in the pericarps are obviously higher than those in stems and roots.
