As one of studies on isolation of naturally occurring biologically active principles, antifungal constituents in the bark of Hibiscus syriacus L. were examined. Two active principles, oil (A), and (B), mp 156-157°, C14H8N2O, were isolated by a suitable combination of counter-current distribution and column chromatography. It was found that A was a mixture of lauric, myristic, and palmitic acid, and B was canthin-6-one (6H-indolo [3, 2, 1-d, e] [1, 5] naphthyridin-6-one).
