The DNA topoisomerase (Topo) I inhibitory activity of six quinochalcone C-glycosides (QCGs) isolated from the florets of Carthamus tinctorius were evaluated in vitro. Among them, anhydrosafflor yellow B (AHSYB, 4) and carthorquinoside B (6) could inhibit DNA Topo I at concentrations as low as 100 μM. Molecular docking study revealed that both of them have the capacity to stabilize Topo I-DNA cleavage complex in silico interacting with the essential binding sites, such as Arg364, Thr718 and TGP11. Besides, both compounds 4 and 6 exhibited no antitumor activity by in vitro cytotoxicity assays.
