Abstract
A new compound, cyclobakuchiol C (1), together with four known bakuchiol derivatives, 2–5, was isolated from the non-polar fraction of the seeds of Psoralea corylifolia, and compounds 3–5 were identified from this plant for the first time. The structure of 1 was determined by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR experiments.
