Popis: The activity of gypenosides and gynogenin of Gynostemma pentaphyllum against non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) A549 cells was investigated to identify the structural characteristics of gypenosides and gynogenin to have anti-NSCLC activity. Of the tested dammarane-type compounds, 20S-dammar-24-en-2α,3β,12β,20-tetrol showed the strongest activity against A549 cells. Based on the structure and cytotoxic activity relationships of gypenosides and gynogenin, the OH group in C-2, the connected sugar number and the configuration in C-20 were important for cytotoxic activity against A549 cells.
