M. Nagai et al., DIARYLHEPTANOIDS FROM MYRICA-GALE VAR TOMENTOSA AND REVISED STRUCTUREOF PORSON, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 43(10), 1995, pp. 1674-1677
From the stems of Myrica gale var. tomentosa (Myricaceae), two new dia
rylheptanoids (3 and 4) were isolated together with myricanone, person
, gallic acid and myricetin 3-O-(6 ''-galloyl)-beta-D-galactopyranosid
e. On the basis of spectroscopic and chemical evidence, the structures
of 3 and 4 have been determined as 12-dehydroporson and 12-hydroxymyr
icanone, respectively. The structure of person was reinvestigated, and
a revised structure, 12-hydrox-5-O-methylmyricanone, was proposed.
