Résumé

Abstract

Crinum biflorum Rottb. (syn. Crinum distichum) is an Amaryllidaceae plant used in African traditional medicine but very few studies have been performed on this species from a chemical and applicative point of view. Bulbs of C. biflorum, collected in Senegal, were extracted with ethanol by Soxhlet and the corresponding organic extract was purified using chromatographic methods. The pure compounds were chemically characterized by spectroscopic techniques (1D and 2D1H and13C NMR, HR MS and ECD) and X‐ray analysis. Four homoisoflavonoids (1–4) and one alkylamide (5) were isolated and characterized as 5,6,7‐trimethoxy‐3‐(4‐hydroxybenzyl)chroman‐4‐one (1), as 3‐hydroxy‐ 5,6,7‐trimethoxy‐3‐(4‐hydroxybenzyl)chroman‐4‐one (2), as 3‐hydroxy‐5,6,7‐trimethoxy‐3‐(4‐methox-ybenzyl)chroman‐4‐one (3) and as 5,6,7‐trimethoxy‐3‐(4‐methoxybenzyl)chroman‐4‐one (4), and the alkylamide as (E)‐N‐(4‐hydroxyphenethyl)‐3‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)acrylamide (5), commonly named N‐ p‐coumaroyltyramine. The relative configuration of compound 1 was verified thanks to the X‐ray analysis which also allowed us to confirm its racemic nature. The absolute configurations of compounds 2 and 3 were assigned by comparing their ECD spectra with those previously reported for urgineanins A and B. Flavanoids 1, 3 and 4 showed promising anticancer properties being cytotoxic at low mi-cromolar concentrations towards HeLa and A431 human cancer cell lines. The N‐p‐coumaroyltyra-mine (5) was selectively toxic to A431 and HeLa cancer cells while it protected immortalized HaCaT cells against oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide. Compounds 1–4 also inhibited acetylcho-linesterase activity with compound 3 being the most potent. The anti‐amylase and the strong anti-glucosidase activity of compound 5 were confirmed. Our results show that C. biflorum produces compounds of therapeutic interest with anti‐diabetic, anti‐tumoral and anti‐acetylcholinesterase proper-ties.
