Upload by Skyler

Three new dihydrochalcones, artoserichalcone A–C (1–3), were isolated from the leaves of Artocarpus sericicarpus. Compound structures were elucidated using NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, and 2D) together with HRESIMS analysis. Antimalarial testing against Plasmodium falciparum showed strong activity for compounds (1) and (3), with IC50 values of 16.90 and 13.56 µM, while compound (2) displayed moderate activity (IC50 63.01 µM). Cytotoxicity assessment on Huh7, HepG2, BHK-21, and Vero cells indicated non-cytotoxic behavior (CC50 > 20 µg/mL).
