goniothalamus scortechinii/breast neoplasms

Styryl lactones are plant-derived compounds from genus Goniothalamus with promising anti-proliferation and anticancer properties. However, the exact mechanism and the target for their activities remained unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effect of 5-acetyl goniothalamin (5GTN) from

The ethanolic extract from the stem bark of Goniothalamus marcanii Craib was shown in preliminary brine shrimp lethality data having good cytotoxic activity. Further bioassay guided isolation was done by means of solvent partition, chromatography and precipitation to provide four isolated compounds:

A new acetogenin has been isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of leaves and twigs of G. sawtehii (Annonaceae). The structure of compound 1 was identified as sawtehtetronenin on the basis of spectral evidence (UV, IR, MS and 1H, and 13C NMR) and by comparison with related compounds.
