| Actinopuga.sp and Stichopus variegatus Semper distributed abundantly in South China Sea especially in Guangdong and Fujian Province. Up to date , only few chemical works have been performed on these sea cucumbers.Guided by Pyricularia oryzae bioassay model, the anticancer and antifungal constituents of Actinopuga.sp and Stichopus variegatus Semper have been investigated by various chromatography methods including LPLC, MPLC, HPLC on silica gel, ODS RP C-18 and Zorbax SB C-18 respectively. Finally, nineteen compounds were isolated and elucidated by chemical and spectral analysis (IR, EI-MS, HREI-MS, ESI-MS; 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMQC, TOCSY, 1H-1H COSY, DQF-COSY, HMBC, NOESY, etc) .From the Actinopuga.sp, seven compounds were isolated and identified, they are all triterpeneglycosides: 3-O-[3-Omethyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyran -os-yl-(1→4)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-holosta-9(11)-ene-3β,12α-diol(AC-1 pervicoside C),3-O-[3-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyr anosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→4)-β-D-xylopyr-anosyl(1→2)-β-D-quinovopyr anosyl(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-holosta-7(8)ene-3β-ol(AC-2 fro -ndoside A),3-O-[3-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-22,25- epoxy-holos-ta-9(11)-ene-3β,12α,17α-triol(AC-3 holothurin A),3-O-[3-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyran-osyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsu-lfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-holosta-22-hydroxyholost-9(11)-ene-3β,12α,17α-triol (AC-4 holothurin A1) , 3-O-[β-D- quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4-O-Sodiu -msulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-22,25-epoxy-holosta-9(11)-ene-3β,12α,17α-triol (AC-5 holothurin B),3-O-[3-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-gluc-opyranosyl- (1→4)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsulfate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-25- acetoxy-holosta-9(11)-ene-22-one-3β, 12a-diol (AC-6 fuscocineroside A ), 3-O-[3-O- methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-quinovo-pyra nosyl-(1→2)-4-O-sodiumsulf-ate-β-D-xylopyranosyl]-holosta-9(11)-ene-22-one-3β,12α–diol(AC-7 fuscocineroside B).From the Stichopus variegatus Semper, even compounds were isolated and identified, including eleven triterpene glycosides and one aglycone as follows: 3β-O-{3-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-gluco pyranosyl-(1→2)[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl}-23(S)-acetoxyholosta-7, 25-diene(SV-1化åˆç‰©F1). 3β-O-{3-O- methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranosyl -(1→2)[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl}-23(S)-acetoxyholosta-7-ene.
