Chemical ingredients:

化學成份﹕

Eight new isoprenylated xanthones, cudratricusxanthones A-H (1-8), were isolated from the roots of Cudrania tricuspidata, together with ten known compounds, cudraxanthones H (9) and M (10), xanthone V(1a) (11), toxyloxanthone C (12), macluraxanthone B (13), 1-hydroxy-3, 6, 7-trimethoxyxanthone (14), cycloartocarpesin (15), artocarpesin (16), cudraflavone B (17), and kaempferol (18). Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods. Xanthones 5, 7, 10, and 12 showed inhibitory effects on four kinds of human digestive apparatus tumor cell lines (HCT-116, SMMC-7721, SGC-7901, and BGC-823) with IC(50) values of 1.6-11.8 microg/mL. Xanthones 2, 4, and 11 displayed significant cytotoxicity against HCT-116, SMMC-7721, and SGC-7901 (IC(50)=1.3-9.8 microg/mL). Flavonoids 15-17 were almost inactive.[1]
