Chemical and Chemotaxonomical Studies of Ferns. XXXI. Chemical Studies on the Constituents of Arachinoides standishii OHWI

Abstract

Six new compounds were isolated from the methanol extract of Arachinoides standishii OHWI. Chemical and physicochemical studies showed their structures to be 1-(2, 4, 6-trimethoxyphenyl)-but-trans-2-en-1-one (I), 5, 7-dimethoxy-2-methylchromanone (II), 2-ethyl-5, 7-dimethoxychromanone (III), 5-hydroxy-dimethoxy-2-methyl-chromanone (IV), 3-β-D-allosyloxy-1-(2-hydroxy-4, 6-dimethoxyphenyl)-butan-1-one (V) and 8-carboxy-6-hydroxy-2, 5-dimethyl-2a, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydroacenaphthene (VI). Compound VI, named ryomenin, is the first sesquiterpene reported to possess a tetrahydroacenaphthene skeleton.
