Two new C21 steroidal glycosides, paniculatumosides H and I, together with four known ones were isolated from the roots of
Cynanchum paniculatum
(Bge.) Kitag. Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods including extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques. All compounds were subjected to detect the anti-tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) activities and their cytotoxities against three human tumor cell lines (SMMC-7721, MDA-MB-231 and A549). The results showed that compounds
1
and
5
exhibited potent protective activities against TMV, while
2
,
4
and
6
had moderate effects on the SMMC-7721 cancer cells viability.
