  • Title: A new coumarin from the fruits of Coutarea hexandra.
    Author: Olmedo D, Rodríguez N, Vásquez Y, Solís PN, López-Pérez JL, Feliciano AS, Gupta MP.
    Journal: Nat Prod Res; 2007 Jun; 21(7):625-31. PubMed ID: 17613820.
    Abstract:
    A new 5-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (1), together with four known compounds, one coumarin, 5-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-methoxy-2H-chromen-2-one (2) and three cucurbitacins, 23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin F (3), 23,24-dihydro-25-acetylcucurbitacin F (4) and 2-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-23,24-dihydrocucurbitacin F (5) have been isolated and characterised from the ethanol extract of Coutarea hexandra fruits. Their structures have been established by spectroscopic analysis (NMR and MS). Interpretation of the HMQC, HMBC, COSY-45 and NOESY experiments permitted us to establish stereochemistry of the natural products. All compounds were tested in cytotoxicity assays against the breast (MCF-7), lung (H-460), and central nervous system (SF-268) human cancer cell lines.
