Two new cyclopenta [b] benzofurans, aglaroxin A 1-O-acetate (2) and 3 '-methoxyaglaroxin
A 1-O-acetate (3), a new benzo [b] oxepine, 19, 20-dehydroedulisone A (4), and five new

Two new cyclopenta[b]benzofurans, aglaroxin A 1-O-acetate (2) and 3‘-methoxyaglaroxin A 1-O-acetate (3), a new benzo[b]oxepine, 19,20-dehydroedulisone A (4), and five new cyclopenta[bc]benzopyrans, edulirin A (5), edulirin A 10-O-acetate (6), 19,20-dehydroedulirin A (7), isoedulirin A (8), and edulirin B (9), were isolated from the bark of Aglaia edulis, along with one known cyclopenta[b]benzofuran, aglaroxin A (1). Additionally, four new amides, aglamides A−D (1013), as well as three known compounds, aglalactone, scopoletin, and 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,4‘-tetramethoxyflavone, were isolated from the leaves and/or twigs of this species. The structures of the new compounds (213) were elucidated by interpretation of their spectroscopic data. All isolates obtained in this study were evaluated for cytotoxicity against both several human cancer cell lines (Lu1, LNCaP, and MCF-7) and a nontumorigenic (HUVEC) cell line. Among these isolates, the cyclopenta[b]benzofurans (13) exhibited potent in vitro cytotoxic activity (ED50 range 0.001 to 0.8 μg/mL). Aglaroxin A 1-O-acetate (2) was further evaluated in the in vivo P388 lymphocytic leukemia model, by intraperitoneal injection, but found to be inactive in this model.
