A. Yenesew et al., 6-METHOXYCALPOGONIUM ISOFLAVONE-A - A NEW ISOFLAVONE FROM THE SEED PODS OF MILLETTIA-DURA, Journal of natural products, 60(8), 1997, pp. 806-807
From the seed pods of Millettia dura a new isoflavone has been isolate
d and identified as 8-dimethoxy-4H,8H-benzo[1,2-b:3,4-b']dipyran-4-one
(trivial name 6-methoxycalopogonium isoflavone A). In addition, three
known isaflavones (formononetin, ferrugone, jamaicin) and two rotenoi
ds (millettone, tephrosin) were identified. All structures were determ
ined on the basis of spectroscopic evidence.
