Popis: Phytochemical studies on Momordica foetida led to the isolation and characterization of Momordin (23,24,25,26,27-pentanorcucurbitacin) (3), a new pentanor cucurbitane along with the known β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), β-sitosterol (5) and kaempferol-7-O-s-D-glucopyranoside (6). In adition to those components, two previously unreported cucurbitane glucosides, namely 3β-hydroxy-7-oxo-23(R)-cucurbita-5,24-diene-23-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (Momordiside A) (1) and 3β-hydroxy-7β-methoxy-23(R)-cucurbita-5,24-diene-23-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (Momordiside B) (2) were also obtained. The structures were elucidated by HR-ESI-MS and spectroscopic analysis including 1D- and 2D-NMR. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant antioxidant potential in DPPH radical scavenging assay. In addition, compound 2 further revealed significant inhibitory potential against the enzyme urease in vitro as well as moderate activity against oral cancer cell line CAL-27.
