Dichagelinoids A-C (1-3), three unusual dichapetalin-type triterpenoids, together with two biogenetically related derivatives dichagelinoids D and E (4 and 5) were isolated and characterized by solid data from Dichapetalum gelonioides. Compounds 1-3 possess a common rearranged C ring and different C6-C2 modified motifs at the A rings. Biological evaluation revealed that compounds 1-3 showed distinct cytotoxic activity against the tested human cancer cell lines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
