High performance liquid chromatography profiling with mass spectrometry detection was applicable to identify known and novel multidrug-resistance glycolipid inhibitors from the complex resin glycosides mixture of Ipomoea alba L., Convolvulaceae, seeds. Albinosides X and XI were purified by recycling liquid chromatography and their structural elucidation was accomplished by nuclear magnetic resonance. Albinoside XI exerted a strong potentiation of vinblastine susceptibility in multidrug-resistant human breast carcinoma cells.
