In addition to twenty-nine known compounds, two new guaiane sesquiterpenes and two new furanocoumarins were isolated from the chloroform extract of the rhizomes of Notopterygium incisum. The new structures were elucidated by means of spectroscopic methods including 2 D NMR techniques and mass spectrometry to be 8β-acetoxy-4α,6α-dihydroxy-1α,5α(H)-guai-9-ene (incisumdiol A, 1), 4α,6α-dihydroxy-1α,5α(H)-guai-9-ene (incisumdiol B, 2), 5-[(2E,5Z)-7-hydroxy- 3,7-dimethyl-2,5-octadienoxy]psoralene (3) and 5-[(2,5)-epoxy-3-hydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-6-octenoxy]psoralene (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
