Homoisoflavonoids from the bulbs of Bellevalia longipes and an assessment of their potential cytotoxic activity.

ABSTRACT: Seven undescribed homoisoflavonoids were identified from the bulbs of Bellevalia longipes Post (Asparagaceae) as well as thirteen known and one natural homoisoflavonoid that had been reported as a synthetic product previously. A general approach for recognizing homoisoflavonoids via NMR spectroscopy data were presented. The undescribed compounds were: 8-dehydroxy-5-O-demethyl-6-hydroxyscillapersicone, 6-methoxyscillapersicone, 5-O-demethyl-6-methoxyscillapersicone, 8-O-methylscillapersicone, 4'-O-methylscillapersicone, 4',8-O,O-dimethylscillapersicone, 3'-O-methylscillapersicone, and 3-hydroxy-desmethylophiopogonanone A. Structures were determined based on analysis of HRMS and NMR data, while absolute configurations were assigned using ECD spectroscopy. Human cancer cell lines were used to
