Cancer represents one of the most significant health challenges currently facing humanity, and plant-derived antitumour drugs represent a prominent class of anticancer medications in clinical practice. Isovaleryl sucrose esters, which are natural constituents, have been identified as having potential antitumour effects. However, the mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, 12 isovaleryl sucrose ester components, including five new (-) and seven known compounds (-), were isolated from the roots of The structures of the compounds were elucidated using 1D and 2D-NMR spectroscopy, complemented by HR-ESI-MS mass spectrometry. The cytotoxic activities of all the compounds against human colon cancer cells (HCT-116) and human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) were also evaluated using the CCK8 assay. The results demonstrated that compounds , , and were moderately inhibitory to HCT-116 cells, with IC values of 7.49 ± 0.48, 9.03 ± 0.21, and 13.49 ± 1.45 μM, respectively. Compounds and were moderately inhibitory to A549, with IC values of 8.36 ± 0.77 and 7.10 ± 0.52 μM, respectively. Molecular docking revealed that compounds - exhibited a stronger affinity for FGFR3 and BRAF, with binding energies below -7 kcal/mol. Compound exhibited the lowest binding energy of -10.63 kcal/mol to FGFR3. We screened the compounds with lower binding energies, and the protein-ligand complexes already obtained after molecular docking were subjected to exhaustive molecular dynamics simulation experiments, which simulated the dynamic behaviour of the molecules in close proximity to the actual biological environment, thus providing a deeper understanding of their functions and interaction mechanisms. The present study provides a reference for the development and use of iso-valeryl sucrose esters in the antitumour field.
