Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the stems of Syzygium jambos (L.) Alston resulted in the isolation of five new pentacyclic triterpenoids, including three oleananes (1, 2, and 5) and two ursanes (3 and 4), along with 23 known compounds (6–28). Their structures were elucidated by comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activities against two lung carcinoma cell lines, H1975 and HCC827. Among them, compounds 2, 7, 11, 13–16, 18, and 23 exhibited significant cytotoxic activities against H1975 and/or HCC827 cells, with IC50 values below 10 μM. Furthermore, the preliminary structure-activity relationships of these pentacyclic triterpenoids are also discussed.

2. Development of standardization method for bioactive plant extracts and natural products
3. Identification of bioactivity in plant extracts
4. Identification of targets and mechanism of activity of plant extracts
5. Production and genomic characterization of medicinal plants biomass
6. Chemistry and biochemistry of bioactive natural products of plant origin
7. Critical reviews of the historical, clinical and legal status of medicinal plants, and accounts on topical issues.
