Three new labdane-type diterpene glycosides from fruits of Rubus chingii and their cytotoxic activities against five humor cell lines

Three new labdane-type diterpene glycosides, 15,18-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-13(E)-ent-labda-7(8),13(14)-diene-3β,15,18-triol (1), 15,18-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-13(E)-ent-labda-8(9),13(14)-diene-3β,15,18-triol (2), and 15-O-β-d-apiofuranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl-18-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-13(E)-ent-labda-8(9),13(14)-diene-3β,15,18-triol (3), were isolated from the fruits of Rubus chingii. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical methods. The cytotoxic activities of compounds 1–3 were evaluated against five human tumor cell lines (HCT-8, BGC-823, A549, and A2780). Compounds 3 showed cytotoxic activity against A549 with an IC50 value of 2.32 μM.
