From the aerial parts of Anthyllis hermanniae two new prenylated chalc
ones, yl-2-butenyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-yl]-2-propen-1-one (anthyllisone
) and enyl)-5-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)phenyl]-2-propen-1-one (anthyllin),
have been isolated, along with the known chalcones isobavachalcone and
abyssinone VI and the prenylated isoflavonoids wighteone, lupiwighteo
ne and lupalbigenin. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic
methods, including 2D NMR techniques. D-Pinitol was also isolated.
