The rhizome of giant taro(Alocasia macrorrhiza(L.)Schott),which is a highly adaptable wild plant,is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine.In the current study,the antiproliferative constituents of giant taro were investigated and six new(1-6)and four known piperidine alkaloids(7-10)were isolated from its rhizomes.Their chemical structures and absolute configurations were elucidated using various spectroscopic methods and the Mosher ester method.The isolated alkaloids were screened for the antiprolifer-ative activity through MTT assay.The results indicated that piperidine alkaloids exerted potential antiproliferative activity against HepG2,AGS and MCF-7 tumor cells.Further researches showed that compounds 3-5 dose-dependently decreased the colony forma-tion rate and induced the apoptosis of AGS cells,while compound 4 induced AGS cell death via the proapoptotic pathway.This study demonstrates that the piperidine alkaloids isolated from giant taro exhibit significant antitumor activity,which provides phytochemical evidence for further development and utilization.
