Abstract

A further chemical investigation of the bulbs of Bessera elegans (Liliaceae) led to the isolation of a new homoisoflavonoid (1), a new scillascillin-type homoisoflavonoid (2), three known flavonoids (3-5), and two known norlignans (6 and 7). The structures of the new homoisoflavonoids (1 and 2) were determined based on the results of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including two-dimensional NMR data. The isolated compounds (1-7) were evaluated for cytotoxicity against HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells and TIG-3 normal human diploid fibroblasts. Compound 1 exhibited potent tumor-selective cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells.
