Popis: Three new p-coumaroyl triterpenes, asprellic acids A [1], B [2], and C [3], were isolated from the EtOH extract of dried leaves of Ilex asprella. The structures for 1-3 have been established as 3,27-di-O-trans-p-coumaroyl [1], 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-27-O-cis-p-coumaroyl- [2], and 3-O-cis-p-coumaroyl-27-O-trans-p-coumaroyl- [3] 3 beta,27-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid, respectively, by spectral and chemical examinations. Asprellic acid A [1] exhibited potent cytotoxicity against the RPMI-7951 cell line with an ED50 value of 0.62 micrograms/ml, while the cytotoxicity of asprellic acid C [3] against RPMI-7951 was marginal (ED50 5.5 micrograms/ml). Compounds 1 and 3 also showed cytotoxicity against KB cells with ED50 values of 3.75 and 2.86 micrograms/ml, respectively. Asprellic acid B [2] did not show cytotoxicity (> 10 micrograms/ml) against KB or RPMI-7951 cell lines.
