The purification of the MeOH extract from the aerial parts of Erythronium japonicum using column chromatography furnished a new megastigmane glucoside, erthrojaponiside (1), together with six known megastigmane derivatives (2 - 7). The structure of the new compound (1) was determined through 1D and 2D NMR spectral data analysis and chemical means. The isolated compounds (1 - 7) were tested for cytotoxicity against four human tumor cells in vitro using a Sulforhodamin B (SRB) bioassay.

Phyllanthus ussuriensis Rupr. et Maxim. (Euphorbiaceae) has long been used in folk medicine to treat kidney and urinary bladder disturbances, intestinal infections, diabetes, and hepatitis. Reported chemical constituents of this species are one flavonoid (rutin), two gallotannins (gallic acid, methyl gallate) and two ellagitannins.An investigation of the n-BuOH fraction of P. ussuriensis led to the isolation of two new megastigmane glycosides, 10-hydroxy-4,7-megastigmadiene-3-one-9-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (1), 10- hydroxy-4,6-megastigmadiene-3-one-9-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (2) and two known compounds roseoside (3) and 3-oxo-a-ionol-9-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (4).

Five lignan glycosides, seven megastigmane glycosides, and seven phenolic compounds were isolated by repeated column chromatography from the MeOH extract of Salsola komarovii. Their structures were determined to be lariciresinol-9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (1), alangilignoside C (2), conicaoside (3), (+)-lyoniresinol 9'-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (4), (8S,8'R,7'R)-9'-[(${\beta}$-glucopyranosyl)oxy]lyoniresinol (5), blumenyl B ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (6), blumenyl A ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (7), staphylionoside D (8), icariside $B_2$ (9), (6R,9S)-3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol ${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (10), 3-oxo-${\alpha}$-ionol 9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (11), blumenol B 9-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-($1{\rightarrow}6$)-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (12), benzyl 6-O-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-apiofuranosyl-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (13), canthoside C (14), tachioside (15), isotachioside (16), biophenol 2 (17), 2-(3,4-dihydroxy)-phenyl-ethyl-${\beta}$-$\small{D}$-glucopyranoside (18), and cuneataside C (19) by spectroscopic methods. All the isolated compounds 1 - 19 were reported from this source for the first time. Compounds 2, 3 and 6 upregulated NGF secretion to $118.8{\pm}3.6%$, $128.2{\pm}9.3%$ and $111.1{\pm}7.1%$ without significant cell toxicity.
