Abstract
The continuing investigation of the root of Rhinacanthus nasutus afforded a 1,4-naphthoquinone ester, rhinacanthin-Q, accompanied by twenty-four known compounds. The structure was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analyses. The cytotoxicity and antiplatelet effect of this compound was also discussed.
