Abstract

Two new isocoumarin glucosides, haworforbins A (1) and B (2), and a new chromone, haworforbin C (3), have been isolated from Haworthia cymbiformis. Their structures and absolute configurations were elucidated on the basis of NMR and CD data. Haworforbin C (3) exhibited moderate inhibition of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cell line.
