    Isolation, Characterization, and Quantification of a New Anticancer Constituent from Leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis
    (Springer, 2022-05-03T00:00:00) Grover, P.; Kaur, J.; Suri, K.A.; Kumar, R.; Bansal, G.
    A new compound, 1,1,2-tris(2?,4?-di-tert-butylphenyl)-4,4-dimethylpent-1-ene, was isolated and characterized from the leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L. The plant was subjected to bioactivity-guided fractionation, and a compound was isolated from chloroform extract that was found to have potent anticancer activity. The chloroform extract was further fractionated, and a pure compound was isolated that was found to be active against three cancer cell lines (HL-60, HCT-116, and A-549). An RP-HPLC method was developed for quantification of the isolated compound. The content of the isolated compound was 0.88% in the chloroform extract and 0.08% in N. arbor-tristis leaves. � 2022, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
