Abstract:
A diarylheptanoid, 1,7-di-(3',4'-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-hepten-3-one, hirsutanone, has been isolated from the methanolic extract of the aerial parts of Viscum cruciatum (Viscaceae) and characterized by spectroscopic methods and chemical transformations. This compound showed cytotoxic activity against melanoma (UACC-62), renal (TK-10) and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines.
