“…The heart wood of C. sappan is the most used part and studies have shown that the main homoisoflavonoid ingredient of the heartwood of this plant is brazilin ( 3 ), which is responsible for several of the observed biological activities, which include cytotoxic, antitumor, antimicrobial, antiviral, immunostimulant, and other properties. This plant has been the subject of several studies which have resulted in the identification of many new HIFs including the first report of a Δ 3,4 -unsaturated homoisoflavan from a natural source ( 20 ), 3′-deoxy-4- O -methylepisappanol ( 28 ), ( 3R,4S )-3,7-dihydroxy-3-(3ʹ-methoxy-4ʹ-hydroxybenzyl)-4-ethoxychroman (caesalpiniaphenol F, 29 ), (3 S ,4 R )-3,7,2ʹ,3ʹ-tetrahydroxy-3,4-dihydro-9H-indeno[6,5 c]chromene (caesalpiniaphenol E) ( 142 ), 29 caesalpinophenols G ( 84 ) and H ( 146 ), ( 3R )-3,7-dihydroxy-3-(4′-hydroxy-3′-methoxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one ( 85 ), 30 7,10,11-trihydroxydracaenone ( 143 ), epicaesalpin J ( 144 ), 31 caesappin A ( 145 ), and caesappin B ( 150 ). 32…”
