Bioactivity-directed fractionation of extracts from the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii led to the isolation of (-)-1-O-feruloylsecoisolariciresinol (2), named hanultarin, In addition, four known lignans were also isolated, including (-)-secoisolariciresinol (1), 1,4-O-diferuloylsecoisolariciresinol (3), (-)-pinoresinol (4), and 4-ketopinoresinol (5). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data. Compounds 2 and 3 exhibited strong cytotoxic effects against human lung carcinoma A549 cells, melanoma SK-Mel-2 cells, and mouse skin melanoma B16F1 cells with IC(50) ranges of 3-13 microg/mL. Compound 2 showed an inhibitory effect on the polymerization of the actin cytoskeleton in normal epidermal keratinocyte (HaCaT cells), suggesting unique biological properties of compound 2 compared to those of the other isolates.
