CYTOTOXIC CONSTITUENTS FROM THE ROOT WOOD OF FORMOSAN MICHELIA COMPRESSA

The methanolic extract of the root wood of Michelia compressa (Maxim.) Sargent showed cytotoxicity against MCF-7, NCI-H460 and SF-268 cancer cell lines. Bioassay-guided fractionation of the chloroform-soluble layer led to the isolation of costunohde and liriodenine with cytotoxic activities, along with the isolation of twenty-seven known compounds. The active costunohde existed as major constituent in this study.
