Abstract
Using various chromatographic separations, sixteen compounds, including one new triterpene saponin named aegicoroside A (1), were isolated from the leaves of the Vietnamese mangrove Aegiceras corniculatum. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic methods such as 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS. The cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds against MCF7 (breast), HCT116 (colon), B16F10 (melanoma), and A549 (adenocarcinoma) cancer cell lines were also evaluated. Strong cytotoxicity was observed for sakurasosaponin (2) against all four cancer cell lines and for sakurasosaponin methyl ester (3) against MCF7, A549, and HCT116 cell lines with IC 50 values ranging from 2.89 ± 0.02 to 9.86 ± 0.21 μM.
