Treatment of cumingianosides and cumindysoside A, which possess a 14,18-cycloapotirucallane skeleton, with p-toluenesulfonic acid in CH2Cl2 yielded new triterpene glucosides. Cumingianoside A (1) gave 10 and 11, along with cumingianoside Q (5). The structures of 10 and 11 were determined on the basis of spectral examination and contained a dammar-13(17)-ene and a 17(R),23(R)-epoxydammarane skeleton, respectively. Cumingianoside C (2) afforded, together with cumingianoside P (6), products 12 and 13, which were similar to 10 and 11, respectively. With a short reaction time at room temperature, cumingianoside E (3) yielded cumingianoside D (4). In contrast, when 3 was treated with p-toluenesulfonic acid in CH2Cl2 overnight at 5 degrees C, it gave two products, 9 and 14. Extensive spectroscopic examination revealed that 9 possessed a dammar-12-ene skeleton, while 14 was a pentacyclic tetranortriterpene glucoside with a novel skeleton. Cumindysoside A (8) gave a product (15) similar to 14. The cytotoxicities of 9-15 were evaluated against a panel of 58 human tumor cell lines. Compounds 11-15 exhibited potent cytotoxicity with log GI50 values ranging from -7.11 to -4.94, especially against leukemia and colon-tumor cell lines.
