Biological activity of isoflavonoids from Azorella madreporica

Nat Prod Commun. 2012 Sep;7(9):1187-8.

Abstract

Four isoflavones, isolated from the whole plant of Azorella madreporica, were identified as angustone C (1), alpinumisoflavone (2), licoisoflavone A (3) and isolupalbigenin (4) by spectroscopic studies. The compounds were evaluated for antibacterial and gastroprotective activities. This is the first time that isoflavonoids have been reported in this genus.
