Two new cytotoxic acetogenins from Annona squamosa

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2009;11(3):250-6. doi: 10.1080/10286020802682916.

Abstract

Two new annonaceous acetogenins named as squamostanin-A and squamostanin-B were isolated from 95% EtOH extract of the seeds of Annona squamosa. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic method, and their cytotoxicities were evaluated using MTT method.
