Abstract:
Sixteen new geranylated flavanones, named veluflavanones A-P (1-16), and a known analogue (17), were isolated from Dalbergia velutina. The chemical structures of 1-17, as well as their absolute configurations, were determined by spectroscopic analysis and experimental ECD data. All isolated compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines. Compound 9 showed cytotoxicity toward KB, HeLa S3, and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 9.9, 8.1, and 10.0 μM, respectively. In addition, compounds 10, 11, 14, and 16 exhibited selective cytotoxicity against HeLa S3 cells with IC50 values of 6.6-9.9 μM.

Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
