Chromones from the branches of Harrisonia perforata

Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo). 2006 Jan;54(1):44-7. doi: 10.1248/cpb.54.44.

Abstract

Four new chromones, perforamone A, B, C, and D have been isolated together with six known compounds, peucenin-7-methyl ether, O-methylalloptaeroxylin, perforatic acid, eugenin, saikochromone A and greveichromenol, from the branches of Harrisonia perforata (Simaroubaceae). The structures were identified by spectroscopic data. The compounds were tested for antimycobacterial and antiplasmodial activities.
