Four novel triterpene lactones, pseudolarolides A [1], B [2], C [3], and D [4], were isolated from the seeds of Pseudolarix kaempferi. Their structures and stereochemistry were elucidated from spectral data. Compound 2 shows potent cytotoxicity against three human cancer cell lines, KB (nasopharyngeal), A-549 (lung), and HCT-8 (colon), and against a murine leukemia cell line (P-388) with ED50 values of 0.49, 0.67, 0.73, and 0.79 micrograms/ml, respectively.
