Abstract

As described previously. we reported twenty two compounds including one naphthoquinone. eight diarylheptanoids, two tetralone. one sesquiterpenoid. one diarylheptanoid glucoside, two tetralone glucosides. one naphthalene carboxylic acid glucoside and six naphthalenyl glycosides were isolated from the roots of Juglans mandshurica (17-22). Here we report that al of these compounds and a known triterpene are tested for the inhibitory effects against DNA topoisomerases I and II activities. (omitted)
