Detailed phytochemical investigation has been carried out on the bark of Artocarpus elasticus Reinw. ex Blume, which led to the isolation of artonin E (1), a new dihydrobenzoxanthone derivative named elastixanthone (2), cycloartobiloxanthone (3) and artobiloxanthone (4). Structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of various spectroscopic (UV, IR, ID-NMR and 2D-NMR) and MS data. Compounds 1-3 displayed outstanding scavenging activity for 1,1-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) with IC5o values of 11.5, 21.6 and 40.0 μg/mL, respectively. In addition, compounds 1-3 displayed broad spectrum antimicrobial activities against thirteen different bacterial strains when tested using the disc diffusion assay. Cytotoxic screening revealed that artonin E (1). constantly exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against human estrogen receptor (ER+) positive breast cancer (MCF-7) and human estrogen receptor (ER-) negative (MDA-MB 231) cells in comparison with the other two, with IC50 values of 2.6 and 13.5 μg/mL, respectively, without being toxic towards the WRL68 (human normal liver) cell line (IC50 value more than 30 [μg/mL). However, the compound was inactive against HepG2 (human liver carcinoma) cancer cells.

Exposure to reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), converting them into oxidized ones (oxLDL), which are involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a potential link between lipid dysregulation and neurodegenerative processes. Phenolic metabolites derived from Artocarpus elasticus root bark were found to possess significant antioxidant properties at three different radical scavenging assays, including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Among them, furanodihydrobenzoxanthones (1-3) demonstrated notable protection against Cu induced LDL oxidation, with IC values ranging from 0.

Artocarpus elasticus is a popular fruit tree in the tropical regions. Primary screenings of methanol extracts of the root bark confirmed its potent inhibition of bacterial neuraminidase (BNA), which plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of many microbial diseases. Assessments of the responsible phytochemicals were conducted by isolating eight compounds (1-8) and two of them (6 and 8) were identified as new compounds.

Nature has provided us with a wide spectrum of disease healing phytochemicals like Artonin E, obtained from the root bark of Artocarpus elasticus. This molecule had been predicted to be drug-like, possessing unique medicinal properties. Despite strides made in chemotherapy, prognosis of the heterogenous aggressive triple negative breast cancer is still poor.
