Abstract
Three selaginellins and seven biflavones were isolated from the whole plant of Selaginella tamariscina.Their structures were identified as selaginellin(1),selaginellin A(2),selaginellin B(3),amentoflavone(4),sequoiaflavone(5), bilobetin(6),ginkgetin(7),isoginkgetin(8),hinokiflavone(9),and isocryptomerin(10).Among them,compounds 1,5,and 8 were isolated from this plant for the first time.Additionally,selected compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against tested human cell lines,and compounds 1,4,7,8 and 9 showed selective cytotoxic activity.
