[Chemical constituents of phenylethanoid glycosides from Forsythiae Fructus and their antitumor activities].

Four phenylethanoid glycosides were isolated from the 75% EtOH extract of Forsythiae Fructus by various column chromatography methods(MCI, silica gel, ODS and semi-preparative HPLC). Their structures were identified as forsythenside M(1), forsythenside K(2), forsythoside I(3) and forsythoside A(4) by physicochemical properties and extensive spectroscopic analysis(UV, 1 D and 2 D NMR, HR-ESI-MS). Among them, compound 1 was one new phenylethanoid glycoside. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of these compounds against MCF-7, A-375, SGC-7901 and B16 F10 were evaluated. The results showed that compounds 1-4 had cytotoxic activities against MCF-7, A-375, SGC-7901 and B16 F10 at 40 μmol·L~(-1).
