Three new Anthraquinones, one new Benzochromene and one new Furfural glycoside from Lasianthus acuminatissimus

Abstract

Three new anthraquinones, lasianthurin B (1), C (2), lasianthuoside D (3), a new benzochromene, lasianthurin D (4), and a new furfural glycoside, lasianthuoside E (5), together with one known compound 4- hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (6) were isolated from an alcohol extract of the root of Lasianthus acuminatissimus. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data analysis (including 1D, 2D NMR, X-ray, and MS experiments) and comparsion to literature data.
