Antitumor constituents from Alternanthera philoxeroides

J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2007 Sep-Dec;9(6-8):511-5. doi: 10.1080/10286020600782231.

Abstract

Two new compounds, alternanthin B (1) and N-trans-feruloyl-3,5-dimethoxytyramine (2), along with four known compounds (3-6) were isolated from the aerial parts of Alternanthera philoxeroides. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic methods. The antitumor activity of the isolated compounds was also evaluated.
