Guiding by LC-MS/MS analysis and the GNPS Molecular Networking, five undescribed daphnane diterpenoids, tanguticanines A–E, and eleven known analogues were discovered from the whole plants of Daphne tangutica Maxim. Their structures and absolute configurations were determined via extensive NMR spectroscopic analysis, ECD calculations, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. Tanguticanine E (5) exhibited promising cytotoxicity against the HepG2 cell line with an IC₅₀ value of 9.93 ± 0.10 μM. Further flow cytometry experiment was performed to detect cell apoptosis, and the results indicated that cytotoxic diterpenoids (tanguticanines B, D and E, altadaphnan C, gniditrin, hirsein A and simplexin) exert their effects through induction of apoptosis.
