| Biol Pharm Bull. 2006 Apr;29(4):838-40. | | Hepatoprotective compounds of the roots of Cudrania tricuspidata on tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells.[Pubmed: 16595932] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
The bioassay-guided fractionation of the MeOH extract of the root barks of Cudrania tricuspidata furnished three hepatoprotective compounds, gerontoxanthone A (2), cudraflavone B (4), Gericudranin E (5), together with four prenylated xanthones, cudraxanthone B (3), isocudraxanthone K (6), cudraxanthone C (7), cudraxanthone H (8), and a prenylated flavanone, euchrestaflavanone C (1).
CONCLUSIONS:
Compounds 4 and 5 showed significant hepatoprotective effects with the EC50 values of 37.39+/-0.4 and 39.87+/-0.7 microM, respectively, and compound 2 showed moderate hepatoprotective effect with an EC50 value of 125.9+/-1.5 microM, against tacrine-induced cytotoxicity in Hep G2 cells.
Silybin as positive control showed an EC50 value of 84.76+/-0.5 microM. Isocudraxanthone K (6) is a new compound. | | Natural Product Sciences, 2010, 16(2):75-79. | | Monoamine oxidase inhibitory flavonoids from the root bark of Cudrania tricuspidata.[Reference: WebLink] |
METHODS AND RESULTS:
Two new benzylated flavonoids, 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-6-p- hydroxybenzylflavanone (1) and 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-6,8-di-p- hydroxybenzylflavanone (2) together with six known flavonoids, kaempferol (3), artocarpesin (4), cycloartocarpesin (5), cudraflavone D (6), Gericudranin E (7), and leachianone G (8) have been isolated from the root bark of Cudrania tricuspidata. The structures of 1 and 2 were characterized based on spectroscopic data including 1D- and 2D-NMR. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory effects of monoamine oxidase (MAO).
CONCLUSIONS:
Among them, kaempferol (3), artocarpesin (4), and cudraflavone D (6) showed moderate inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 82.3, 30.8, and 71.8 μM, respectively. |
