Eight xanthones and one anthraquinone, together with four common triterpenoids, have been isolated from the barks of Cratoxylum cochinchinense, collected in Myanmar. The structures of the metabolites were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and their antiproliferative activities were measured against six human tumor cell lines, by using the MTT assay. Pruniflorone N (1) showed a significant cytotoxicity against all cancer cells with IC50 values in the range 3-9 μM, on average higher than the anticancer drug cisplatin. Instead, compounds 2 and 3 exhibited high antiproliferative activity against some specific cell lines.

Abstract
Eight xanthones and one anthraquinone, together with four common triterpenoids, have been isolated from the barks of Cratoxylum cochinchinense, collected in Myanmar. The structures of the metabolites were elucidated by spectroscopic data analysis and their antiproliferative activities were measured against six human tumor cell lines, by using the MTT assay. Pruniflorone N (1) showed a significant cytotoxicity against all cancer cells with IC50 values in the range 3-9 μM, on average higher than the anticancer drug cisplatin. Instead, compounds 2 and 3 exhibited high antiproliferative activity against some specific cell lines.File in questo prodotto:
