Flavans from Desmos cochinchinensis as potent aromatase inhibitors

Flavans from the roots of Desmos cochinchinensis exhibited potent aromatase inhibitory activity at nanomolar levels, and could be leads for the development of anti-aromatase drugs. In addition, these aromatase inhibitors did not show pronounced cytotoxic activity. Flavans exert their inhibitory acti...
