Abstract

Two new flavones, oxyphyllumflavone A and B (1 and 2) were isolated from Desmodium oxyphyllum. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. Compounds 1 and 2 are the first naturally occurring flavones possessing a six-membered 6-methyl-α-pyrone ring. Compounds 1 and 2 were also evaluated for their cytotoxicity against NB4, A549, SHSY5Y, PC3, and MCF7 cell lines, and they showed cytotoxicity with IC50 values in the range of 4.2 – 9.6 μM.
