Popis: The sap from the succulent, Desmidorchis flava (N.E.Br) Meve & Liede (Apocyanaceae), provided two new pregnane glycosides named desmiflavasides A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ) whose structures were established from 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques and mass spectromentry (ESIMS) measurements. Desmiflavaside B ( 2 ) was tested for anticancer activity and induced a 27.4% and 33.1% growth inhibition of the breast cancer cell line (MDA MB231) at a concentration of 75 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml, respectively. Desmiflavasides A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ) were additionally evaluated for: DPPH antioxidant activity, urease enzyme inhibition as well as for xanthine oxidase enzyme, α-glucosidase enzyme and acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities. They displayed weak antioxidant and urease enzyme inhibition activities with 15% inhibition.
