1-[2,4-Dihydroxy-6-methoxy-3,5-bis(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl]ethanone (1), and a new aryl ketone, named acrovestenol (2), were isolated as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitory principles from a CH2Cl2 extract of the bark of Acronychia pedunculata by a bioassay-guided fractionation procedure. Compound 2 inhibited COX-2 with an IC50 value of 142.0+/-2.15 microM, compared to the COX-2 inhibitory reference compound NS-398 with an IC50 value of 11.3+/-1.12 microM. Compound 1 inhibited COX-2-catalyzed PG biosynthesis with 68% at a concentration of 500 microM. The structures were determined by UV, IR, and 1D- and 2D-NMR, including TOCSY, HSQC-DEPT, and HMBC, and MS investigations.

Three species of the Rutaceae family, including Acronychia pedunculata, Euodia lepta, and Severinia monophylla have been used in traditional medicine. However, the comparison of the chemical composition, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects of the leaf essential oils of these species have not been investigated yet. A total of 38 compounds were identified via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, comprising 96.

Four new prenylated acetophenone derivatives, including one acetophenone dimer [acronyrone D (1)] and three acetophenone monomers [acronyrones E-G (2-4)], along with seven known analogues (5-11) were obtained from the leaves of Acronychia pedunculata. Their structures and absolute configurations were established by analysis of HRMS and NMR data, single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and quantum chemical calculations. In addition, the isolates were tested for their anti-proliferative acivity against HCT-116, RKO and SW480 cancer cell lines.

A new prenylated xanthenoid with a highly oxidized core, acrotrione B (1: ), together with six previously reported acetophenones (2: - 7: ), were isolated from the roots of . The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by thorough analysis of their 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data. The relative and absolute configurations of acrotrione B were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations.
