Styryllactones from the rhizomes of Goniothalamus griffithii

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 1999;1(3):189-97. doi: 10.1080/10286029908039864.

Abstract

Three new styryl-lactones 8-acetylgoniofufurone(1), 7-acetylgonio-pypyrone(3), and 5-acetylgoniopypyrone(4), along with ten known compounds, goniofufurone(2), goniopypyrone(5), goniothalamin, goniothalenol, (+)-isoaltholactone, goniodiol, 7-acetylgoniodiol, goniotriol, 8-acetylgoniotriol, 9-deoxygoniopypyrone were isolated from the rhizomes of Goniothalamus griffithii Hook f. et. Thoms. Their structures were elucidated by IR, MS, NMR spectra and chemical evidence. All compounds showed cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines.
