Abstract

The present study was undertaken to investigate and rationalize the in vitro antiosteoporotic activity of neoflavonoids, isolated from Dalbergia sissoo heartwood. Neoflavonoids were isolated using extensive column chromatography and identified as dalsissooal (1) a new compound and cearoin (2), dalbergin (3), 4-methoxy dalbergion (4), dalbergiphenol (5), dalbergichromene (6), methyl dalbergin (7) and latinone (8) as known compounds by comparison their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. Among the screened compounds, compounds 1, 3, 5-8 significantly increased proliferation as assessed by Alkaline Phosphatase activity and mineralization in calvarial osteoblast cells.
