Cordell, J. M. Pezzuto and A. D. Kinghorn. 1995. Cytotoxic
constituents of Bursera permollis. Planta Med. 61(1): 80-81.
“Four cytotoxic lignans were isolated from the stem bark of
Bursera permollis (Burseraceae), namely, deoxypodophyllotoxin (1),
beta-peltatin methyl ether (2), picro-beta-peltatin methyl ether (3), and
dehydro-beta-peltatin methyl ether (4). Also isolated was the inactive
lignan, nemerosin (5). Compounds 1 and 2 were potently cytotoxic when
evaluated against a panel of human cancer cell lines.” |
