GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A phytochemical study of the rhizomes of Monstera deliciosa has led to isolation of fourteen compounds (1-14) for the first time from the plant species. The structure elucidation was carried out using 1D and 2D NMR data. The cytotoxic activities of the compounds against the liver (HepG-2), larynx (Hep-2), colon (HCT-116), and breast (MCF-7) cancer cell lines were evaluated using MTT assays. Syringaresinol (6) showed remarkable IC50 values against the four tested cell lines. In addition, 9, 12, 13-trihydroxy-10-octadecenoic acid (14) was highly cytotoxic against Hep-2 and HCT-116 cell lines.
