Furanocoumarins from Dorstenia gigas

Phytochemistry. 2001 Mar;56(6):611-21. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(00)00419-2.

Abstract

A series of linear and angular prenylated furanocoumarins and a benzofuran derivative were isolated from leaves and twigs of Dorstenia gigas (Moraceae), a plant occurring endemically on Socotra Island (Yemen). The structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS, UV) and chemical derivatization.
