BACKGROUND
The Derris genus is known to contain flavonoid derivatives, including prenylated flavanones and isoflavonoids such as rotenoids, which are generally associated with significant biological activity.
OBJECTIVE
To develop an efficient preparative isolation procedure for bioactive
Various parts of Derris elliptica, Derris indica and Derris trifoliata on fractionation with a number of solvents (petrol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, butanol and methanol) gave fractions which demonstrated a varied level of broad spectrum antibacterial activity. Good activity was exhibited by
Pomiferin, a prenylated isoflavonoid from Derris malaccensis with strong anti-fungal and anti-oxidant activities, showed cytotoxic activity towards human cholangiocarcinoma cells (HuCCA-1), with IC(50) of 0.9 microg/mL. Pomiferin caused apoptosis, detectable by DNA fragmentation. Two-dimensional
