Two new dimethoxy-acetophenone-O-glucosides and the known 2,4,6-trimethoxyacetophenone were isolated from the flowering bulbs and pseudo-stem fluid of Pancratium biflorum.The structures of the new compounds were established as 4,6-dimethoxyacetophenone-2-O-β-D-glucoside and 2,6-dimethoxyacetophenone-4-O-β-D-glucoside on the basis of chemical transformation, comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, and synthesis of the aglucones.The biological activity profile of the glucosides and their aglucones is also appraised. Key Word Index Pancratium biflorum; Amaryllidaceae; flowering bulbs; pseudo-stem fluid; dimethoxy acetophenones; dimethoxy acetophenone-O-glucosides; effects on cell growth, viability; prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor.
