Prenylated flavonoids from the leaves of Derris malaccensis and their cytotoxicity

Nat Prod Commun. 2011 Aug;6(8):1103-6.

Abstract

A new prenylated isoflavone, pomiferin-4'-O-methyl ether, and a new prenylated chalcone, 2',4'-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-3'-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl)chalcone, together with four known flavonoids, were isolated from the leaves of Derris malaccensis. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity.
