Abstract

As a result of cytotoxic compounds against cancer cell lines from natural sources, senven compounds were isolated from the leaf and twig of Acer okamotoanum Nakai. The compounds (1-7) were identified as ethyl gallate (1), methyl gallate (2), gallic acid (3), trans $resveratrol-3-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (4), acertannin (5), nikoenoside (6), and fraxin (7) by physicochemical and spectroscopic data (including mp, UV, IR, MS, $^1H-NMR,\;^{13}C-NMR$, DEPT, and HMBC) in comparison with those of published papers. All the compounds were tested for their cytotoxic activity against L1210, HL-60, K562, and B16F10 cancer cell lines in vitro by MTT assay method. Compounds 1-3 and 5 showed cytotoxic activity against all tested cell lines with $IC_{50}$ values ranged from 12.5 to $72.2\;{\mu}M$. Of the compounds, methyl gallate (2) exhibited the most potent cytotoxic activity against L1210, HL-60, K562, and B16F10 tumor cells with $IC_{50}$ values of 12.5, 48.3, 22.8, and $22.8\;{\mu}M$, respectively. Other compounds did not show any cytotoxic activity against four cancer cell lines.
