Three new isoflavanones, secundiflorols D-F, were isolated from the ro
ots of Sophora secundiflora in addition to the nine known flavonoids,
geraldol, pseudobaptigenin, pratensein, formononetin, calycosin, secun
difloran and secundiflorols A-C. The structures of secundiflorols D-F
were established as ylallyl-7,2',3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavanone,
llyl-5,7,3'-trihydroxy-2',4'-dimethoxyisoflavanone and methylallyl-7,
3'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavanone, respectively, by means of spectra
l evidence. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
