Annonin I ( 1) and anonin VI ( 9) were isolated from the seeds of ANNONA SQUAMOSA L. (Annonaceae). The constitution of 1 is identical with that of squamocin, isolated by Fujimoto et al. (8). The relative configuration of 1 was elucidated by X-ray diffraction analysis of a derivative. The constitution and relative configuration of 9 was established by (13)C- and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy using data of derivatives.

Five flavonoid glycosides were identified from flowers of ARNICA MONTANA, four from A. CHAMISSONIS subsp. FOLIOSA var. INCANA. The structures were established on the basis of total acid hydrolysis and spectral data (UV, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, MS) as hispidulin 7- O-beta-glucoside, isorhamnetin 3- O-beta-glucoside, 3- O-beta- D-glucopyranosides of spinacetin, 6-methoxykaempferol and patuletin and querectin 3- O-(6''- O-acetyl)-beta- D-glucopyranoside. The latter compound can serve as distinctive marker between these two ARNICA species. The (1)H-NMR spectra in CD (3)OD are discussed.

Annonacin ( 1), annonacin A ( 6), and annonastatin ( 7) were isolated from the seeds of ANNONA SQUAMOSA L. (Annonaceae). Compounds 6 and 7 are described for the first time. The relative configuration of the tetrahydrofuran core of 1 (with hitherto unknown configuration), as well as those of compounds 6, and 7 were established by (13)C- and (1)H-NMR spectroscopy using data of the derivatives 8- 11.
