Abstract

Bioactivity-guided isolation of the CHCl3-soluble fraction of the roots of Calotropis gigantea was carried out to obtain a new cardenolide glycoside, caloside G. Its absolute structure was elucidated based on NMR and ECD spectroscopic data interpretation. Caloside G showed noteworthy cytotoxicity against the PANC-1 human pancreatic and HeLa human cervical carcinoma cell lines, with the submicromolar IC50 values of 0.038 and 0.09 µM, respectively.
