Two novel steroidal alkaloid glycosides, lycioside A (1) and lycioside B (2) were isolated from the seeds of Lycium barbarum. Their structures were determined by various spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1 and 2 showed inhibitory activities with the IC50 values of 75.3 and 72.8 μM against rat intest...
