RESUMEN
In an effort to identify natural bioactive compounds, three new flavonoids (1-3) and six known compounds (4-9) were isolated from the stem bark of Bougainvillea spectabilis. The structures of these compounds were accomplished using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR spectra with references to the literatures, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis. Their cytotoxicity against KB and HeLa S-3 cell lines was also evaluated.

Four new tetrahydroxanthone-chromanone heterodimers, usneaxanthones E-H (1-4) together with eleven known compounds (5-15) were isolated from lichen Usnea aciculifera Vain (Parmeliaceae). Their structures and absolute configurations, particularly the central and axial chiralities, were unambiguously demonstrated by a combination of spectroscopic data (1D, 2D NMR, HRESIMS), electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments, and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses. The cytotoxicity of new compounds was evaluated on four human cancer cell lines including HCT116 colorectal cancer, MCF-7 breast cancer, A549 lung cancer, and OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer. Compounds 1-4 exhibited good cytotoxicity against all tested cancer cell lines, except ovarian cancer, with the best IC50 value of 3.37 µM. All compounds showed potent cytotoxicity against HCT116 colon cancer with IC50 value from 3.37 to 4.53 µM.

Four unusual heterodimeric tetrahydroxanthones, usneaxanthones A-D (1-4) were isolated from lichen Usnea aciculifera Vain (Parmeliaceae). Their structures and absolute configurations, particularly the central and axial chiralities, were unambiguously demonstrated by a combination of spectroscopic data (1D, 2D NMR, HRESIMS), electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments, and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses. Cytotoxic effects of isolated compounds (1, 2 and 4) were evaluated on HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells. Compound 4 showed potent cytotoxicity against HT-29 with IC50 values of 2.41⯵M.

The methanol extract of Olax imbricata roots afforded one new sesquiterpenoid tropolone and three new 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene derivatives, olaximbrisides A-D (1-4). Their structures were determined by 1D and 2D NMR experiments in combination of HRESIMS. The relative configurations were assigned by the NOESY experiments. The absolute configurations were established by a combination of X-ray diffraction analysis and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) experiments. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects against some cancer cell lines. Among them, compound 1 exhibited the cytotoxicities against MCF-7, HepG2 and LU cell lines with IC50 values of 16.3, 34.3 and 8.0⯵M, respectively.

Five new flavones possessing a fully substituted A-ring with C-6 and C-8 methyl groups, bougainvinones Iâ-âM (1: -5: ), along with three known congeners, 2'-hydroxydemethoxymatteucinol (6: ), 5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxy-3-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavone (7: ) and 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavone (8: ), were isolated from the EtOAc extract of the stem bark of Bougainvillea spectabilis. Their structures were established by means of spectroscopic data (ultraviolet, infrared, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and one-dimensional and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance) and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. The in vitro cytotoxicity of all isolated compounds against five cancer cell lines (KB, HeLa S-3, MCF-7, HT-29, and HepG2) was evaluated. Compound 5: showed promising cytotoxic activity against the KB and HeLa S-3 cell lines, with IC50 values of 7.44 and 6.68 µM. The other compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against the KB cell line.
