Two new flavonoids, 1 and 2, together with two known flavonoids, tephrosin (3) and 12a-hydroxy-a-toxicarol (4), were isolated from the whole herb of Derris eriocarpa HOW. The structures and absolute configurations of the new compounds were elucidated on the basis of their MS, NMR, and ECD data. The structures of the known compounds were established by extensive spectroscopic (MS, 1D-and 2D-NMR) analyses and comparison with the literature data. All compounds were isolated from D. eriocarpa for the first time. Compound 3 showed modest inhibitory activities against the growth of human cancer cells HEL and A549 with the IC 50 values of 15.03 AE 0.62 and 13.27 AE 0.39 lM, 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.
