Using a bioassay-directed fractionation method, three new compounds, including an aporphine alkaloid, cassyformine (4); an oxoaporphine alkaloid, filiformine (8), and a lignan, (+)-diasyringaresinol (10), along with 14 known compounds, were further isolated and characterized from the MeOH extract of the fresh herbs of Cassytha filiformis. Among the isolates of this plant, cathafiline (1), cathaformine (2), actinodaphnine (3), N-methylactinodaphnine (5), predicentrine (6), and ocoteine (7) exhibited significant antiplatelet aggregation activity.
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.
