A new flavanol, erycibenin D, and two new flavans, erycibenins E and F, were isolated from the stems of Erycibe expansa originating in Thailand. The structures of new flavonoids were elucidated on the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence. In addition, the inhibitory activities of the
Principal rotenoids (deguelin, tephrosin, rotenone, and 12a-hydroxyrotenone) (3-30microM) isolated from the stems of Erycibe expansa significantly inhibited invasion of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells through Matrigel-coated filters and release of proMMPs-2 and 9. In addition, deguelin and tephrosin
