Abstract

Two new lavandulylated flavanones, (2S)-2'-methoxykurarinone (1) and (- )-kurarinone (2), were isolated from the root of Sophora flavescens, together with two known lavandulyl flavanones, sophoraflavanone G (3) and leachianone A (4), and two known isoflavonoids, formononetin and l-maakiain. The structures of 1 and 2 were determined on the basis of optical rotation and spectral evidence and by comparison with known compounds. Compounds 1-4 exhibited cytotoxic activity against human myeloid leukemia HL-60 cells.
