Two new flavonol glycosides from Selaginella tamariscina.

ABSTRACT

Two new flavonol glycosides 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone-4'-O-[5'''-O-p-coumaroyl-ß-D-apiofuranoyl-(1'''→2'')-ß-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and 3,5,7-trimethoxyflavone -4'-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (2) were isolated from Selaginella tamariscina. The structures of 1 and 2 were elucidated on the basis of chemical and spectral analysis, including 1D, 2D NMR analyses and HRESIMS spectrometry. Two compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against A-375, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cell lines by MTT assay. Unfortunately, two compounds displayed no cytotoxic activities.
