RESUMEN
Five new compounds including, a neolignan, eupomatenoid-19 (1) and four polyoxygenated seco-cyclohexenes, artahongkongenes G-J (2-5), together with fifteen known compounds (6-20) were isolated from the stems and leaves of Piper suipigua Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don. Their structures were determined by spectroscopic evidence (IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 2 D NMR) as well as MS. The absolute configurations of polyoxygenated seco-cyclohexenes 2-8 were identified by NOESY data and by comparison of their experimental and calculated ECD spectral data. Neolignans, eupomatenoid-19 (1) and eupomatenoid-7 (10), displayed cytotoxicity against several cancer cell lines. In addition, eupomatenoid-7 (10) showed antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.

Three new furanoxanthones, macochinxanthones A-C (1-3) and sixteen known xanthones (4-19) were isolated from the roots of Maclura cochinchinensis. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis including NMR, UV and IR, as well as mass spectrometry. Chiral-phase HPLC analysis of 1-3 revealed that they were scalemic mixtures with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of 0.05%, 36.8% and 8%, respectively. Most of the isolated xanthones exhibited potent cytotoxicity against four cancer cell lines (KB, HelaS3, A549 and HepG2) with IC50 values in the range of 1.29-90.15 µM. In addition, many of them displayed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and Methicillin resistant Stephylococus aureus (MRSA) with MIC values in the range of 4-128 µg/mL.
