Abstract

Anagyris foetida extracts were investigated in preliminary cytotoxic tests against two tumour cell lines. Chromatographic separations on active extracts led to the isolation of two alkaloids, anagyrine (1) and baptifoline (2), as well of isorhamnetin (3) and syringin 4-O-b-D-glucopyranoside (4). In vitro cytotoxicity of compounds 1-3 was also evaluated.
