摘要: | The separation of an extract prepared from the stems of the previously uninvestigated Hibiscus taiwanensis led to the isolation of three new phenylpropanoid esters, (7S,8S)-demethylcarolignan E (1), hibiscuwanin A (2), hibiscuwanin B (3), in addition to eight known ones. The structures of these compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical transformation studies. In cytotoxicity evaluation of the isolates, 9,9′-O-feruloyl-(−)-secoisolaricinresinol (8) showed strong cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma and breast carcinoma cell lines in an in vitro cytotoxicity assay with EC50 values of 1.8 and 3.9 μg/mL, respectively.
