Ponapensin, a cyclopenta[bc]benzopyran with potent NF-kappaB inhibitory activity from Aglaia ponapensis.
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2007, Jan-01, Volume: 17, Issue:1

    Two new compounds, a cyclopenta[bc]benzopyran, ponapensin (1), and an aglaialactone, 5,6-desmethylenedioxy-5-methoxy-aglalactone (2), together with nine known compounds were isolated from the CHCl(3) soluble extract of the leaves and twigs of Aglaia ponapensis. Their structures were established by spectroscopic data interpretation. Ponapensin (1) exhibited significant NF-kappaB inhibitory activity in an Elisa assay, and was found to be more potent than the positive control rocaglamide. All of the compounds isolated were also tested in a panel of human cancer cell lines, with the known sterol E-volkendousin (3) and methyl rocaglate (aglafoline) found to be the only active substances.

Cytotoxic and antiplatelet aggregation principles from Aglaia elliptifolia.
    Journal of natural products, 1997, Volume: 60, Issue:6

    Two related 1H-2,3,3a,8b-tetrahydrocyclopenta[b]benzofurans, aglafolin (1a) and rocaglamide (2), isolated from the stems of Aglaia elliptifolia, showed significant cytotoxicity in six cancer cell lines. Aglafolin (1a) was also found to completely block platelet aggregation caused by arachidonic acid and platelet-activating factor at 100 microM and 2 ng/mL, respectively.
