Abstract: | A benzil, calophione A, 1-(6′-Hydroxy-1′,3′-benzodioxol-5′-yl)-2-(6″-hydroxy-2″-isopropenyl-2″,3″-dihydro-benzofuran-5″-yl)-ethane-1,2-dione and three coumestan derivatives, tephcalostan B, C and D were isolated from the roots of Tephrosia calophylla. Their structures were deduced from spectroscopic data, including 2D NMR 1H-1H COSY and 13C-1H COSY experiments. Compounds were evaluated for cytotoxicity against RAW (mouse macrophage cells) and HT-29 (colon cancer cells) cancer cell lines and antiprotozoal activity against various parasitic protozoa. Calophione A exhibited significant cytotoxicity with IC50 of 5.00 (RAW) and 2.90 μM (HT-29), respectively. |
