A new isocoumarin from Hypericum annulatum

Nat Prod Res. 2007 Oct;21(12):1056-60. doi: 10.1080/14786410701567762.

Abstract

A new isocoumarin, annulatomarin (1), together with the known physcion and beta-sitosterol were isolated from the aerial parts of Hypericum annulatum. The structure of the new compound was established as 6,8-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-isochromen-1-one on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis. Annulatomarin exhibited a modest growth-inhibitory activity in vitro against human chronic myeloid leukaemia LAMA-84 cells with an IC(50) = 111 microM.
