Four new steroidal glycosides such as 3-O-6-deoxy-3-O-methyl-?-D-allopyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranoside-12-?-tigloyl-14-?-hydroxy-17-?-pregnane (1), 3-O-6-deoxy-3-O-methyl-?-D-allopyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranoside-12-?-(2'-amino)-benzoyl-14-?-hydroxy-17-?-pregnane (2), 3-O-6-deoxy-3-O-methyl-?-D-allopyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranoside-12-?-14-?-dihydroxy-17-?-pregnane (3) and 3-O-6-deoxy-3-O-methyl-?-D-allopyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-oleandropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranosyl-(1 ? 4)-?-D-cymaropyranoside-12-?-14-?-dihydroxy-17-?-pregnane (4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Ceropegia fusca Bolle (Asclepiadaceae), a crassulacean acid metabolism plant, an endemic species to the Canary Islands that has been used in traditional medicine as a cicatrizant, vulnerary and disinfectant. The dichloromethane extract exhibited significant cytostatic activity against HL-60, A-431 and SK-MEL-1 cells, human leukemic, epidermoid carcinoma and melanoma cells, respectively. As shown in Table I, compounds 1 and 2 showed very similar IC(50) values. The acetylation of 1 to give the diacetate 5 increases 5-fold the cytotoxicity against HL-60 cells. Compounds 3 and 4 did not show cytotoxicity at the assayed concentrations. With respect to the compounds containing only the steroid ring (6-8), the presence of a charged O-amino-benzoyl but not a tigloyl group improved the cytotoxicity.
