Abstract
Two natural isocordoin derivatives, dihydroisocordoin (1) and flemistrictin B (2), were isolated from the root extract of Lonchocarpus xuul. Both metabolites were identified on the basis of their spectroscopic data and by comparing them with those reported in the literature.
Key words: Lonchocarpus xuul, Leguminosae, Chalcones, Dihydroisocordoin, Flemistrictin B.
