Abstract

Two new isoprenylated 2-arylbenzofurans, artonitidin A (=(2′R)-2′,3′-dihydro-2′-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)-5′,7-bis(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-2,4′-bi-1-benzofuran-6,6′-diol; 1) and artonitidin B (=5-[6-hydroxy-7-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)-1-benzofuran-2-yl]-4-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)benzene-1,3-diol; 2), together with 14 known compounds, 316, were isolated from the stems of Artocarpus nitidusTrec. The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Norartocarpin (3), cudraflavone C (5), brosimone I (8), artotonkin (11), albanin A (13), and artopetelin M (14) showed inhibitory effects on pancreatic lipase with IC50 values ranging from 1.8±0.1 to 63.8±3.6 μM.
