In the present study, the antitumor effects of the nor‑Oleanane type triterpene saponin, Bigelovii A, isolated from Salicornia bigelovii Torr, were examined. Bigelovii A was demonstrated to inhibit HL‑60 human acute promyelocytic leukaemia cell growth with an IC50 value of 2.15 µg/ml. In addition,
Investigation of characteristic constituents of Salicornia bigelovii Torr. led to isolation of two new 30-nortriterpenoid glycosides, Bigelovii A (1), Bigelovii B (2), together with two known 30-nortriterpenoid glycosides 3-4 and three known oleanane-type triterpenoid glycosides 5-7. The structures
