Six resveratrol oligomers, namely (-)- ε-viniferin (1), (-)-laevifonol (2), (-)-vaticanol B (3), (-)-hemsleyanol D (4), (+)-isohopeaphenol (5), and (-)-hopeaphenol (6) have been isolated from the acetone extract of the stem bark of Shorea brunnescens. The structure determination of these compounds were based on spectroscopic data (UV, IR, 1H NMR), and compared with literature data. The cytotoxicity of isolated compounds against murine leukemia P-388 cells showed the IC50 values as 18.1, 23.2, 41.9, 12.3, 39.7, and 5.5 µM, respectively.
