Three new biflavones, apigenin-(3',8″)-chrysin (), (2)-2,3-Dihydroametoflavone 5,4'-dimethyl ether (), and (2)-5″,7″-Dihydroxy-2″-phenoxychromonyl-(4'″,3')-naringenin (), together with seven known biflavones () were isolated from the 75% EtOH extract of . The structures of new compounds were established by application of spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, and CD measurements. In addition, all new compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic potential against three human cancer cell lines A549, MCF-7, and SMMC-7721 . Compound exhibited potent cytotoxic activity with IC values ranging from 6.35 to 10.18 μM.

The leaves of Araucaria cunninghamii are known to be nonedible and toxic. Previous studies have identified biflavones in various Araucaria species. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds from Araucaria cunninghamii after metabolomics and network pharmacological analysis.

In this work, we report the scalable and modular synthesis of a library of 55 monomeric and dimeric flavonoids including 14 8,8'-biflavones. The sterically demanding tetra--substituted axis of an acetophenone dimer key intermediate was constructed in a regioselective manner using Fe-mediated oxidative coupling. This step was systematically optimized and performed on up to multigram scale.

During the screening of the cytotoxicity of rare Korean endemic plants, the extract of Thuja koraiensis Nakai displayed potent cytotoxicity against the adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial A549 cell line. Through a series of separations via column chromatography, three undescribed abietanes, an undescribed labdane along with a labdane, and a biflavonoid were purified from methylene chloride (CHCl) fraction possessing a potent cytotoxic effect. Extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic data analyses, in combination with quantum chemical calculations were conducted to establish the planar and absolute configurations of thujakoraienes A-C.
