Abstract excerpt

Microbial and plant secondary metabolites were screened for compounds that are selectively cytotoxic to mutant p53-expressing mouse fibroblasts. As a result, furcreastatin, a novel steroidal saponin, was isolated from an EtOH extract of the leaves of Furcraea foetida. Furcreastatin consisted of hecogenin as the aglycone and a hexasaccharide containing D-galactose, L-rhamnose and four D-glucose residues. The...
