Two new benzopyrans 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-hydroxy-butyl]-5,7 -dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-ben-zopyran (1) and 6-[1'-oxo-3'(R)-methoxy-butyl]-5,7 -dimethoxy-2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran (2) were isolated from the leaves of Mallotus apelta Muell.-Arg., (Euphorbiaceae). Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analyses, especially by 1D-, 2D-NMR and MS spectra. Compound 1 was found to have strong cytotoxic effect against two human cancer cell lines as human hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep-2, $IC_{50}\;:\;0.49\;{\mu}g/mL$) and rhabdosarcoma (RD, $IC_{50}\;:\;0.54\;{\mu}g/mL$), while compound 2 showed moderate activity against Hep-2 cell line ($IC_{50}\;:\;4.22\;{\mu}g/mL$) by in vitro assay.

Total synthesis of biologically interesting $({\pm})$-cannabichromene, $({\pm})$-cannabichromenic acid, and $({\pm})$-daurichromenic acid is described. The key step in the synthetic strategy involves the formation of benzopyrans by ethylenediamine diacetate-catalyzed reactions of resorcinols with $\alpha$,$\beta$-unsaturated aldehydes.

Novel 2,6-difuctionalized 2H-benzopyrans were synthesized and evaluated for a sphingosylphosphorylcholine(SPC) inhibitor. The synthetic 2H-benzopyrans 1c and 3a showed high potency in SPC-induced cell proliferation assay ($IC_{50}$ < 20 nM). Neither hERG $K^+$ channel binding (> $10{\mu}M$) nor CYP inhibitions (> $10{\mu}M$) were observed. Also, the simple structure-activity relationship (SAR) results were obtained from analysis of 2H-benzopyran derivatives 1-3 and the anti-SPC effect of 2H-benzopyran 1c was confirmed by a HUVEC tube formation assay.
