Novel flavanes from Livistona halongensis

Nat Prod Commun. 2012 Feb;7(2):179-80.

Abstract

A study of the chemical constituents of a methanolic extract of the roots of Livistona halongensis (Arecaceae) led to the isolation of two new flavanes, 2S,3S-3,5,7,3'-tetrahydroxy-5'-methoxyflavane (1) and 3,7,3'-trihydroxy-5'-methoxyflavane 5-O-beta-glucopyranoside (2), together with trans-3,5,3',5'-tetrahydroxy-4-methoxystilbene, saccharose and beta-sitosterol-3-O-beta-glucopyranoside. The structures of these compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic data.
