Artoindonesianins A and B, two new prenylated flavones from the root of Artocarpus champeden

J Nat Prod. 1999 Apr;62(4):613-5. doi: 10.1021/np980279l.

Abstract

Two new prenylated flavones, named artoindonesianin A (1) and artoindonesianin B (2), were isolated from the root of Artocarpus champeden, together with a known prenylated flavone, artonin A. The structures of artoindonesianins A and B were determined on the basis of spectral evidence (MS, 1H and 13C NMR) and by comparison with known related compounds. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibited cytotoxic activity against murine leukemia (P-388) cells.
