Two new cytotoxic isoprenylated flavones, artoindonesianins U and V, from the heartwood of Artocarpus champeden

Fitoterapia. 2004 Mar;75(2):134-40. doi: 10.1016/j.fitote.2003.11.005.

Abstract

Two new isoprenylated flavones, artoindonesianins U (1) and V (2), have been isolated from the heartwood of Artocarpus champeden together with three known isoprenylated flavonoids, 5'-hydroxycudraflavone A, cyclocommunin and artonin B. The structures of the new flavones were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Both compounds 1 and 2 showed strong cytotoxic activity against P-388 cell lines.
