C. Kofinas et al., CYTOTOXIC COUMARINS FROM THE AERIAL PARTS OF TORDYLIUM-APULUM AND THEIR EFFECTS ON A NON-SMALL-CELL BRONCHIAL-CARCINOMA LINE, Planta medica, 64(2), 1998, pp. 174-176
Seven coumarins were isolated from the aerial parts of Tordylium apulu
m; their structures were established by spectroscopic means. All compo
unds were tested in vitro for their cytotoxicity against two cell line
systems. The antiproliferative effects for three of them were studied
at the level of the cell cycle in asynchronous cells of the NSCLC-N6
line with a flow cytometry apparatus.
