Main Results:

  • Four new cinnamylphenols, named pulchelstyrenes A-D, were identified.
  • Citrusinol, yukovanol, methyl piperitol, and 4-hydroxy-2,3-dimethoxybenzaldehyde were also isolated.
  • Pulchelstyrenes B and C, and citrusinol demonstrated marginal cytotoxicity against KB cells.
  • Citrusinol also exhibited mild cytotoxicity against HepG2 cells.

Conclusions:

  • Phyllodium pulchellum is a source of novel cinnamylphenols.
  • The isolated compounds, particularly citrusinol, possess cytotoxic properties warranting further investigation.
  • Further research may explore the potential of these compounds as anticancer agents.
