Abstract:
Four prenylated flavonoids compounds
1-4 , named sinopodophyllines A-D, and a flavonoid glycoside (compound
13 ), sinopodophylliside A, together with 19 known compounds (compounds
5-12 and
14-24 ) were isolated from the fruits of
Sinopodophyllum hexandrum. The structures of new compounds were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis, including HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR. Compounds
1-6 ,
9-11 , and
14-17 were tested for their cytotoxicity against human breast-cancer T47D, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells
in vitro, and compounds
2 ,
5 ,
6 ,
10 and
11 showed significant cytotoxicity (IC
50 values < 10 μmol·L
-1) against T47D cells.
