Cytotoxic activities of flavonoid glycoside acetates from Consolida oliveriana

Abstract

The flavonoids kaempferol, quercetin, trifolin, hyperoside 2 '' - and 6 ''- acetates, 7-glucotrifolin, biorobin and robinin were isolated from the aerial parts of Consolida oliveriana. Their derivatives kaempferol tetraacetate, quercetin pentaacetate, trifolin heptaacetate and hyperoside octaacetate exhibited significant cytotoxicity in vitro against three human cell lines HL-60, U937 and SK-MEL1 while hyperoside 2 ''-acetate, hyperoside-6 ''-acetate, glucotrifolin decaacetate and heptamethyltrifolin were inactive.
