Two unprecedented norfriedelane‐type triterpenoids, triflora lactone ( 1 ) and triptocalline B ( 2 ), were isolated from the MeOH extract of the stalks of Microtropis triflora Merr . et Freem ., together with five known compounds ( 3 – 7 ). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and mass‐spectrometric data ( Tables 1 and 2 ). The new compounds were found to be cytotoxic against human cervical squamous carcinoma (Hela) cells, with IC 50 values of 21.6 and 17.6 μg/ml, respectively.
