Acetophenones from Acronychia pedunculata and their Cancer Chemopreventive Activity

摘要

From the roots of Acronychia pedunculata (L.) Miq. (Rutaceae) collected in Taiwan, six known and three new acetophenones have been isolated. The new compounds were named acrophenones D (1), E (2), and F (3). Of the acetophenones isolated in this study, prenylacronylin (4) and acronyculatin D (10) exhibited significant inhibitory activity against 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced Epstein-Barr virus early antigen activation in Raji cells.
