Total 7 compounds including major compound paeonol were isolated from hexane and EtOAc fraction of Moutan Cortex (the root cortex of Paeonia Suffruticosa Andrews), one of the most important crude drugs known as an analgesic, a sedative, an antiinflammatory agent, and remedy for female diseases in Korean traditional medicines.
At 5ug/ml concentration, MeOH extract of Moutan Cortex inhibited growth rate of (one of the human skin cancer cells).
In this work, the cytotoxicity of 7 compounds from Moutan Cortex were examined on SK-MEL-28 cell line at 10 ug/ml concentration.
Compound 5 (2,5dihydroxy-4-methoxy-acetophenone) exhibited strong cytotoxicity on SK-MEL-28 cell line at 10 ug/ml concentration.
And ED_50 of 2,5dihydroxy-4-methoxy-acetophenone was identified as 5.92 ug/ml.
