Isolation and Anticancer Progression Evaluation of the Chemical Constituents from Bridelia balansae Tutcher.

ABSTRACT: The dichloromethane extract of the roots of Bridelia balansae Tutcher (Phyllanthaceae) was found to show potential anticancer activity against HCT116 colorectal cancer cell. Our bioassay-guided phytochemical investigation of the roots of B. balansae led to the identification of 14 compounds including seven lignans (1-7), three phenylbenzene derivatives (8-10), two flavanone (11-12), and two triterpenoids (13-14). Among them, 4'-demethyl-4-deoxypodophyllotoxin (1) is the first aryltetralin lignan compound identified from this plant species. In addition, the stereochemistry of 1 was validated by X-ray crystallography for the first time, and its distinguished cytotoxic effect on HCT116 cells with an IC_50<
