Two flavonols, macagigantin (1) and brussoflavonol E (2), and two diterpenoids, deheiculatin C (3) and poilaneic acid (4), were obtained from Macaranga involucrata (Roxb.) Baill. leaves. Their structures were fully detailed on highresolution electrospray mass spectra, 1D NMR ( 1 H, 13 C), and 2D NMR (heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, heteronuclear multiple bond coherence) spectra. The cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of compounds 1-4 were evaluated in murine leukemia cancer cells (P-388) and DPPH radical assays, respectively. Compounds 1-3 showed moderate activity against P-388 cells with IC 50 values of 26.3, 12.8, and 21.2 μM, respectively. Compounds 1-2 showed high activity against DPPH radical with IC 50 values of 332.1 and 125.6 μM, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
