Abstract
A new naturally occurring alkaloid, acetylcamptothecin, together with 17 known compounds, (+)-1-hydroxypinoresinol, ω-hydroxypropioguaiacone, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, scopoletin, uracil, thymine, sitosterol, sitosteryl-β-d-glucoside, 3β-hydroxy-stigmast-5-en-7-one, stigmast-5-en-3β,7α-diol, 6β-hydroxystigmast-4-en-3-one, sitost-4-en-3-one, linoleic acid, trigonelline, camptothecin, 9-O-methoxycamptothecin and pumiloside were isolated and characterized from the stem of Nothapodytes foetida. Among them, scopoletin, camptothecin, 9-O-methoxycamptothecin and O-acetylcamptothecin showed significant cytotoxic activity.
