Chemical constituents of and and their cytotoxicity.

Two new rocaglamides, 8b--5-oxohexylrocaglaol () and elaeagnin (), together with twelve known compounds, were isolated from the bark of and the whole tree of . Their structures were determined using spectroscopic methods, mainly 1D and 2D NMR. Cytotoxic activity against HepG2 human liver cancer cells of the isolated compounds was evaluated using the SRB assay.
