Chlorinated and diepoxy withanolides from Withania somnifera and their cytotoxic effects against human lung cancer cell line
2010
Abstract Phytochemical studies on the aerial parts of Withania somnifera L. Dunal. (Solanaceae) led to the isolation of a chlorinated steroidal lactone (27-acetoxy-4 β ,6 α -dihydroxy-5 β -chloro-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide), a diepoxy withanolide (5 β ,6 β ,14 α ,15 α -diepoxy-4 β, 27-dihydroxy-1-oxowitha-2,24-dienolide), and withaferin A. Their structures were elucidated by using spectroscopic techniques. All three compounds exhibited a growth inhibition and cytotoxic activity against human lung cancer cell line (NCI-H460), with withaferin A being the most potent (GI 50 = 0.18 μg/mL and LC 50 = 0.45 μg/mL) among three compounds tested.
