Two novel biphenyls, named incargutines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the roots of Incarvillea arguta, and the structures were elucidated by detailed spectroscopic analysis, including HR‐ESI‐MS data and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 1 and 2 contain an unprecedented C‐atom skeleton, namely a 4‐methylbiphenyl unit fused with a 7‐methylcyclopentane unit at C(2) and C(3) (i.e., a 1,7‐dimethyl‐4‐phenylindane skeleton). The cytotoxicity of 1 and 2 was evaluated with four tumor cell lines, A549, LOVO, CEM, and MDA‐MB‐435 (MDA), by an MTT assay.
