Description
Methyllinderone, isolated from the roots of Lindera aggregata( Sims) Kosterm, showed moderate to weak antifungal activities against various pathogenic fungi. Methyllinderone and methyllucidone selectively inhibited the growth of H-ras-transformed rat-2 cell lines in comparison with normal rat-2 cells with a GI50 value of 0.3 and 0.85 microM, respectively.
