โฆ Synopsis
The cytotoxicity-guided fractionation of the roots of Sophora flavescens (Leguminosae) extracts led to the isolation of 15 active principles 1-15, responsible for cytotoxicity against five kinds of cultured human tumour cell lines, i.e. A549 (non small cell lung), SK-OV-3 (ovary), SK-MEL-2 (skin), XF498 (central nerve system) and HCT-15 (colon), evaluated by SRB method in vitro. Compounds 2-14 were classified as unusual flavonoids occurring exclusively in this species and the proliferation of each of the examined tumour cells were significantly inhibited during continuous exposure to compounds 1-15 for 48 h, respectively.
