Two new isoflavonoids from Bowdichia virgilioides

Nat Prod Res. 2006 Jan;20(1):27-30. doi: 10.1080/14786410500160942.

Abstract

Two new isoflavonoids 7,8,4'-trimethoxyisoflavone and 7,8,4'-trimethoxyisoflavanone and calycosin (7,3'-hydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavone) were isolated from the wood of the leguminous tree Bowdichia virgilioides by usual chromatographic procedures. Besides these compounds the pterocarpane (-)-maackianin, isoliquiritigenin (4,2',4'-trihydroxychalcone), and the hydrobenzylfurane derivative bowdenol were also obtained. The structures of these new compounds were determinated by MS and 1D and 2D NMR spectral analysis.
