Abstract

Four prostate-type triterpenes were isolated from a methanol extract of Alismatis Rhizoma by bioassay-guided isolation using in vitro cytotoxic assay. The compounds were identified as alisol B 23-acetate (1), alisol C 23-acetate (2), alisol B (3), alisol A 24-acetate (4) by spectroscopic methods. Amongst the compounds, alisol B (3) showed significant cytotoxicity against SK-OV3, B16-F10, and HT1080 cancer cell lines with $ED_50$ values of 7.5, 7.5, $4.9\mu\textrm{g}/ml$, respectively.
