Diterpene derivative and chromone from Hypericum perforatum

Nat Prod Res. 2004 Feb;18(1):15-9. doi: 10.1080/1478641031000111552.

Abstract

A novel diterpene derivative, 5-methyl-5-(4,8,12-trimethyl-tridecyl)-dihydro-furan-2-one (1) and a new chromone, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-methyl-chromen-4-one (2), along with a known compound, phytol (3) have been isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum perforatum. Their structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison with published values.
