Abstract
The constituents in the fruit of Anthriscus sylvestris HOFFM. were investigated, and four ligans [deoxypodophyllotoxin, morelensin, (-)-deoxypodorhizone, and (-)-hinokinin], one phenylpropanoid [1, (3', 4'-dimethoxyphenyl)-1ξ-hydroxy-2-propene], two phenylpropanoid esters [3', 4'-dimethoxycinnamyl (Z)-2-angeloyloxymethyl-2-butenonate and 3', 4'-dimethoxycinnamyl (Z)-2-tigloyloxymethyl-2-butenoate], and one polyacetylenic compound (falcarindiol) were isolated. Their antiproliferative activity against MK-1, HeLa and B16F10 cell lines is reported.
