چکیده
The phytochemical investigation of the roots of Bombax anceps (Bombacaceae) led to the isolation of one new dihydrobenzodioxine derivative, bombaxoin (1) along with ten known compounds. All structures of the isolated compounds were established by means of spectral analyses. Compound 2 showed the highest antioxidant activity (DPPH), while compound 8 showed the highest potential inhibitors activity toward AChE and BChE. In addition, all of the compounds were inactive to cytotoxic activity (KB and HeLa cell lines).
