Abstract

From an Oriental medicine „sohakuhi”, the root barks of Mo rus sp. (Moraceae), a novel isoprene-substituted flavone morusinol has been isolated whose structure has been elucidated on the basis of chemical and physical evidence. The 13C NMR technique has been revealed to be useful also for structure determination of isoprene-substituted flavones.
