Two new disulfated triterpene glycosides, pentactasides B and C ( 1 and 2 , resp.), were isolated from the sea cucumber Pentacta quadrangularis collected from the South China Sea. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectral analysis (2D‐NMR and MS) and chemical methods. The compounds 1 and 2 possess the same tetrasaccharide moieties with two sulfated groups, but are different in the side chains of the triterpene aglycone. Pentactasides B and C ( 1 and 2 , resp.) showed significant cytotoxicities ( IC 50 0.09–2.30 μ M ) against different human tumor cell lines.
