Cytotoxic naphthoquinones from roots of Lippia microphylla.

چکیده
A new prenylated naphthoquinone dimer named microphyllaquinone (1), a mixture of 6-methoxy- and 7-methoxy-naphtho[2,3-b]-furan-4,9-quinones (2a/2b) and tecomaquinone I (3), were isolated from roots of Lippia microphylla. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including detailed 1D and 2D (COSY, NOESY, HMQC, HMBC) NMR data. Unpublished 13C NMR data of 2a and 2b are reported. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds was tested against five types of tumor cells.

Seven naphthoquinones and nine anthraquinones were isolated from the roots of Aloe dawei by chromatographic separation. The purified metabolites were identified by NMR and MS analyses. Out of the sixteen quinones, 6-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxy-2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone is a new compound. Two of the isolates, 5,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-methylnaphthalene-1,4-dione and 1-hydroxy-8-methoxy-3-methylanthr...
