Abstract

Ranunculin (RAN). isolated from Ranunculaceae. exhibited significant cytotoxic activity against KB and Bel-7402 cells with ED$_{50}$ values of 0.21 and 0.35).${\mu}4M respectively. Under physiological condition. the ranunculin was deglycosylated to be protoanemonin. an active form containing ${\alpha}{\beta}$-unsaturated ketone moiety. which successively dimerized to be anemonin inactive form.
