Three previously unreported anthraquinones, fistulaquinones A-C (1-3), together with three known ones (4-6) were isolated from the twigs of Cassia fistula. Their structures were determined by means of extensive NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. All the isolated compounds were tested for their anti-tobacco mosaic virus (anti-TMV) activity, and compound 3 showed significant activity with inhibition rate of 34.5% at 20 μM concentration, even more potent than positive control. Additionally, compounds 1-6 exhibited moderate cytotoxicity with IC50 values ranging from 2.8 to 9.4 μM for some tested human tumor cell lines.
