ABSTRACT
Two new 4-phenylcoumarins, mesulepidotins A (1) and B (2), one new 4-propylcoumarin, mesulepidotin C (3), and one known 4-phenylcoumarin (4) were isolated from Mesua lepidota stem barks. The structures of 4-propyl- and 4-phenylcoumarins were identified by analysing 1D and 2D NMR spectra combined with high-resolution ESIMS data. Compounds 1-4 were assayed to MCF-7 and HeLa cells for their cytotoxic activity. Mesulepidotin A (1) showed high activity with an IC50 value of 1.59 and 1.41 µM, respectively.
ABSTRACT
An undescribed dihydrostilbene, macajavanicin D (1), and three known analogs, malayheyneiin A (2) and laevifolins A-B (3-4), were isolated from Macaranga javanica (Blume) Müll. Arg. leaves. Macajavanicin D (1) structure was determined based on a combination of ESI-HRMS data and NMR spectra. Compounds 1-4 were evaluated to Plasmodium falciparum strain 3D7. Macajavanicins D (1) and laevifolin A (3) showed potent activity with an IC50 value of 0.85 and 1.03 µg/mL, respectively.
ABSTRACT
Four isoprenylated flavonols, including two new compounds, macainermisins A-B (1-2), and two known compounds, sinoflavonoid P (3), broussoflavonol F (4), were isolated from the leaves of Macaranga inermis. A combination of HRESIMS, UV, 1D, and 2D NMR spectra elucidated the structures of 1-2. Flavonols (1-4) were evaluated against three cancer cells. Compound 1 showed high cytotoxicity against WiDR with an IC50 value of 0.93 µM, and compound 2 was active towards HeLa and WiDR (IC50 values of 0.90 and 0.94 µM), and compound 3 showed high activity towards 4T1 and HeLa (IC50 values of 0.83 and 0.98 µM).
ABSTRACT
Two new pyranoxanthones, calotetrapterins D (1) and E (2), were isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum pseudomolle P.F. Stevens along with α-mangostin (3). The structures of compounds 1-2 were determined based on 1D NMR (1H, 13C) and 2D NMR (HMQC, HMBC), as well as HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1-2 showed moderate activity against HeLa and murine leukaemia P-388 cells.

Two new 2-arylbenzofurans, sesbagrandiflorain D (1) and E (2) along with two known 2-arylbenzofurans, spinosan A (3) and spinosan B (4) were isolated from the stem bark of Sesbania grandiflora L. The structure of two new compounds established by HRESIMS, 1 D NMR (1H, 13C) and 2 D NMR (HMQC, HMBC) spectra. Compounds (1-4) assayed for their cytotoxicity towards three human cancer cells (MCF-7, HeLa, and WiDr). Compound 1 showed very high activity against MCF-7 and WiDr with an IC50 value of 0.06 and 0.60 µg/mL, respectively.
