Prenylated isoflavonoids from the root bark of Erythrina vogelii

J Nat Prod. 2002 Mar;65(3):403-6. doi: 10.1021/np0103867.

Abstract

Four new prenylated isoflavonoids, vogelins D-G (1-4), were isolated from the CH2Cl2 extract of Erythrina vogelii root bark in addition to the known compounds isolupalbigenin (5), ficuisoflavone (6), ulexone (7), isochandalon (8), and isoderrone (9). The structures 1-4 were elucidated by spectroscopic and chemical methods. The absolute configuration of compound 1 was determined on the basis of its CD spectrum. Possible biogenetic relationships among the E. vogelii isoflavonoids are briefly discussed.
