Peltogynoids and homoisoflavonoids from Caesalpinia pulcherrima

Peltogynoids and homoisoflavonoids from Caesalpinia pulcherrima - PhytoChemistry, 22(12), p.2835-2838, 1983 .

From the stem part of Caesalpinia pulcherrima Swartz (Leguminosae)two new peltogynoids, pulcherrimin and 6-methoxypulcherrimin and two homoisoflavonoids, the recently reported compound bonducellin and a new derivative 8-methoxy-bonducellin, were isolated. The structures of these constituents were deduced by consideration of their spectral data. Also isolated were the known compounds, 2,6-dimethoxybenzoquinone and 4'-methylisoliquiritigenin, which displayed cytotoxic activity. © 1983.
