A phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Annona reticulata led to the isolation and structural determination of β-sitosterol (1), ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (2), ent-pimara- 8(14),15-dien-19-ol (3), quercetin (4), quercetin 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (5), and a mixture of quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (6a) and quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6b). Of these, compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from the genus Annona for the first time. Compound 3 showed strong cytotoxicity against SK-LU-1 and SW626 cell lines with IC50 values of 17.64 ± 1.07 and 19.79 ± 1.41 μg mL-1, respectively.

The flavone tricin (5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3′,5′-dimethoxyflavone) is considered to be a selective potent inhibitor of different cancer cell lines and a potential colorectal cancer chemopreventive agent. In this paper we describe a reliable UHPLC-UV-ESIMS method for the determination of tricin in Huperzia plants used in the traditional medicine of the Saraguro community living in Southern Ecuador. An unusually high amount of tricin was found in H. brevifolia and H. compacta, which exceeded the content of this flavone determined so far in other plants.

Abstract Lapachol (1), a natural naphthoquinone, presents several biological activities including antitumor activity, used as anticancer coadjuvant whose use was abandoned because of adverse effects. Herein, we reported the synthesis and cytotoxicity evaluation against cancer cell lines of a series of Oglycosides and glycosyl triazoles derived from lapachol. In addition to the determination of IC50, the DNA fragmentation and clonogenicity were also evaluated. The glycoside derived from D-glucose (5) was far more active than lapachol (1) and more active in tumor cell lines HL60, Jurkat, THP-1 and MDA-MB-231 than to the non-tumoral PBMC cell line, indicating an improvement in activity and selectivity as compared with lapachol (1). Compound 5 and the glycosides derived from D-galactose (14), D-N-acetylglucosamine (15) and L-fucose (16) showed good results in the DNA fragmentation and clonogenicity assays in the studies of subdiploid DNA content, indicating a pro-apoptotic potential and a good antiproliferative activity of these glycosides.
