Abstract
Two new prenylisoflavones, 3′,4′,5-trihydroxy-8-prenyl-dihydrofuran[2″,3″:7,6]isoflavone (1) and 4′,5-dihydroxy-8-prenyl-dihydrofuran[2″,3″:7,6]isoflavone (2), along with five known prenylisoflavones (3–7), benzylalcohol-4-O-β-d-glucoside (8) and two cinnamic acid esters (9, 10) were isolated from the leaves of Maclura cochinchinensis (Cudrania cochinchinensis). Their structures were elucidated by analysis of NMR (1H-, 13C-NMR, HSQC, HMBC), MS spectra and comparison with the published data. Compounds 4–10 were the first time isolated from this species. Prenylisoflavones 1–4 and 6–7 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity on KB and HepG2 cancer cell lines. Compound 4 showed cytotoxic activity against both cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 26.99 and 19.95 μM, respectively. The other compounds were considered as inactive.
