Flavone-coumarin hybrids from Gnidia socotrana

Phytochemistry. 2002 Dec;61(7):873-8. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(02)00358-8.

Abstract

Phytochemical investigation of leaves and twigs of Gnidia socotrana (Balf. f.) Gilg (Thymelaeaceae), a plant occurring endemically on Socotra Island (Yemen), afforded six novel natural products: two compounds consisting of a flavone and a coumarin moiety connected by a C-C linkage, 7,7'-dihydroxy-3,8'-biscoumarin and three substances with the rare spiro-bis-gamma-lactone structure. The structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic data.
