Three new geranylated flavanones, named as paucatalinone A (1), B (2), and isopaucatalinone B (3), were isolated from the fruits of Paulownia catalpifolia Gong Tong (Scrophulariaceae). Their structures were well determined by means of IR, MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and CD techniques. Paucatalinone A (1) is the first sample as a dimeric geranylated flavanone derivative isolated from natural products. Paucatalinone A (1) displayed good antiproliferative effects on human lung cancer cells A549 and resulted in a clear increase of the percentage of cells in G1 phase and a decrease in the percentage of cells in S and G2/M phases in comparison with control cells.

A comprehensive phytochemical investigation of root extract led to the isolation of two new geranylated xanthones ( and ), one new geranylated flavone (), one new flavanone (), and one unique benzopyran (), along with 16 known compounds. Structures of the new compounds were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic and computational methods. Two different types of compounds, flavone and arylbenzofuran , displayed the most potent antityrosinase activity with IC values of 1.

Two copper(II) complexes containing diplacone (Hdipl), a naturally occurring C-geranylated flavanone derivative, in combination with bathophenanthroline (bphen) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with the composition [Cu(bphen)(Hdipl)]⋅2HO (1) and {[Cu(phen)(Hdipl)]⋅1.25HO} (2) were prepared and characterized. As compared to diplacone, the complexes enhanced in vitro cytotoxicity against A2780 and A2780R human ovarian cancer cells (IC ≈ 0.

As the global cancer burden escalates, the search for alternative therapies becomes increasingly vital. Natural products, particularly plant-derived compounds, have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional cancer treatments due to their diverse bioactivities and favorable biosafety profiles. Here, we investigate Paucatalinone A, a newly discovered geranylated flavanone derived from the fruit of Gong Tong, notable for its significant anti-cancer properties.
