Abstract

Isoprenoid-substituted flavonoids were isolated from the wood of Artocarpus heterophyllus by
biologically activity-guided fractionation, namely antioxidant. The isolated compounds are cudraflavone
C, kuwanon C, norartocarpin, albanin A and artocarpanone have more hydroxyl groups seem to be
specifically to scavenge H2O2. These experimental results demonstrated that each scavenging compound
different in its scavenge capacity toward different form of radicals.
