The structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopic techniques, mass spectrometry, and comparison of the spectroscopic data with previously reported data. Compound 6 is a novel C-21 hydroxyl cardiac glycoside, its absolute configuration was established from the analysis of computational ECD calculations and NMR spectroscopic data. The effects of the cardiac glycosides on apoptosis and cytotoxicity were examined in human A549 lung cancer cells. All the compounds showed remarkable inhibitory activities, with IC50 values in the range of 0.01-6.08 μM. Furthermore, compound 3 was able to significantly inhibit A549 cell growth proliferation via the induction of apoptosis, due to the activation of caspases-3, -8 and -9 in A549 cells, as revealed by Western blot analysis.Phytochemical investigation of the ethyl acetate fraction of Pseudocaryopteris paniculata C.B.Clarke P.D.Cantino resulted in the identification of 26 undescribed iridoid glucosides (paniculosides A-Z), along with 7 known iridoid glucosides. Their structures were elucidated via two-dimensional nuclear-magnetic-resonance (2D-NMR) spectroscopy, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS), and chemical-hydrolysis methods. All isolated substances were analyzed for their cytoprotective effects against t-BHP-induced toxicity in HepG2 cells. Among the tested compounds, paniculoside A, paniculoside I, paniculoside T, and paniculoside U exhibited moderat
