Immunosuppressive auronol glycosides from Artocarpus tonkinensis.

Activity-guided fractionation of the n-butanol extract from the leaves of Artocarpus tonkinensis led to the isolation of the auronol glycosides maesopsin 4-O-glucoside (1), as well as the new alphitonin-4-O-glucoside (2). These structures were identified on the basis of MS and NMR spectroscopic data. The lymphocyte stimulation test showed both compounds having immunosuppressive activity.
