Abstract

Two new stilbene derivatives, lakoochins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the roots of Artocarpus lakoocha. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated by analysis of their spectral data. Lakoochins A (1) and B (2) exhibited antimycobacterial activity with the respective MIC values of 12.5 and 50 microg/mL. While 1 was cytotoxic against the BC (breast Cancer) cell line (IC(50) 6.1 microg/mL) but inactive (at 20 microg/mL) toward KB (nasopharyngeal carcinoma) cells, compound 2 possessed cytotoxicity against the BC and KB cell lines with IC(50) values of 3.1 and 6.1 microg/mL, respectively.
