Four coumarin derivatives, theraphins A (1), B (2), C (3), and D (4), along with three known xanthones, 2-hydroxyxanthone, 1,7-dihydroxyxanthone, and 5-hydroxy-1-methoxyxanthone, were isolated from the bark of Kayea assamica (Clusiaceae) native to Myanmar. Their structures were determined using spectroscopic and chemical techniques. The absolute configuration of 1 was established by the modified Mosher ester method. Theraphins A (1), B (2), and C (3) exhibited good cytotoxicity against Col2, KB, and LNCaP human cancer cell lines. Theraphin D (4) showed mild activity only against the KB cell line. The coumarins also exhibited mild antimalarial activities.

A CHCl3-soluble fraction of 70% EtOH extract of the flower of Kayea assamica from Myanmar exhibited 100% preferential cytotoxicity (PC(100)) against human pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells under nutrient-deprived conditions at 1 microg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation afforded nine new coumarins, kayeassamins A (8), B (9), and C-I (1-7), together with nine known coumarins (10-18). The structures of these compounds were identified by extensive spectroscopic techniques as well as by comparison with published data.

The CHCl(3)-soluble fraction of 70% EtOH extract of the flower of Kayea assamica completely killed human pancreatic PANC-1 cancer cells preferentially under nutrient-deprived conditions at 1 microg/mL. Bioassay-guided fractionation and isolation afforded two novel compounds, kayeassamins A (1) and B (2). Their structures were elucidated using extensive spectroscopic methods and the modified Mosher method.
